Patient's question:
Newborns start having green bowel movements after passing meconium. At 15 days old, I went to the hospital and was prescribed bifidus tablets to take for half a month. I am still taking them now. Last night, I had a bowel movement, and this morning I noticed that the diaper is still yellow. Is this normal?Doctor's answer:
Green stools are usually caused by indigestion, and bifidobacteria can help babies adjust the normal intestinal flora. If the baby's stool turns yellow after taking bifidobacteria, it proves that the stool quality has improved, and you can continue using it for 1 to 2 more weeks. Currently, the baby's stool is normal, and you can stop taking the medicine after stabilizing for two days. The above is advice on the question "What causes green stools in newborns?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
