Child has green stool and eats little, how to regulate

Patient's question:

Patient age: -1 The baby has green poop and yellow tongue, eats little, and weighs only 14 pounds at four and a half months old. The poop smells sour, and they haven't seen a doctor yet. What should I do? Please answer.

Doctor's answer:

General breastfed infants have acidic stools, and normal stools are slightly green, sometimes mixed with many white particles. For formula-fed infants, if green stools are excreted, it may indicate accelerated intestinal movement or intestinal inflammation, which is a sign of nausea and vomiting. The baby is still very young, and the gastrointestinal function has not yet fully developed. It is recommended to give the baby probiotics or prebiotics to adjust the intestinal flora. The above advice is for the question "Baby has green stools, yellow tongue, eats less, and is only 10 months old at four and a half months." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
