Baby has a bowel movement once every 2 days, green, what should I do

Patient's question:

The baby has a bowel movement once every two days, green once, eats 110 ml of milk every 3 to 4 hours, and has 6 bowel movements a day. Previously, it had a bowel movement once a day, 110 ml of milk every 2 to 3 hours, and 8 bowel movements a day. Healthy.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the issue of experiencing problems after the baby's green stool mentioned above is a common concern encountered by parents during consultations. In fact, the recurrence of green stool in infants is a normal physiological phenomenon, and parents do not need to worry excessively. Green stool is closely related to changes in bile in children, and they can mutually transform. If the formula contains a higher fat content, its stool tends to be acidic. Under the influence of intestinal bacteria, some bilirubin is converted into biliverdin, so the stool may appear green. Generally, this is not a serious issue.
