Patient's question:
The child is almost three months old. This week, the bowel movements have been twice a day, green, and relatively dry, with a strong odor! Previously, they were once a day and relatively loose, yellow. Please ask the doctor, what could be the cause of this in the child? What should I feed him? Waiting for an online response.Doctor's answer:
Premature infants may sometimes delay the time of meconium passage, which is mainly related to their poor intestinal peristalsis function or delayed feeding.Transition period stool (yellow-green)
During the days when meconium is being eliminated, feeding also begins. When the meconium is completely passed and the stool transitions to normal, it appears yellow-green. Most newborns enter this stage 2 to 3 days after starting to feed, then gradually transition to the normal yellow stage (for breastfed babies).
