What are the reasons for the dark green stool

Patient's question:

My baby is two months old. Recently, the stool he has been is black and green, and it's quite smelly. What could be the reason? The baby is breastfed. Previous treatment and effectiveness: None. What kind of help do I need: I want to understand the situation.

Doctor's answer:

If the baby has frequent bowel movements with curdled milk, it should be considered a factor of indigestion. If the baby is currently exclusively breastfed, it is recommended to pay attention to the cleanliness of the baby's feeding, avoid spicy and irritating foods for the mother, and also take care to prevent the baby's abdomen from getting cold. If necessary, oral probiotics can be given to regulate the digestive system. If the child continues to do so, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination.
