Patient's question:
The baby is now 84 days old and is formula-fed. For the past ten days or so, the baby's stools have been green, sometimes with a slightly granular texture, but the baby's overall condition and spirits are good. The baby has one bowel movement per day, and the amount of stool is relatively small (not as much as the yellow amount before). The daily milk intake is approximately 800 milliliters. What could be causing this situation? How should it be handled?What kind of help is needed: I would like to ask how to resolve the issue of the baby's green stools?
Doctor's answer:
The normal newborn baby's meconium is viscous, dark green or black green, and odorless. Breastfed infants' stools are bright yellow, viscous, uniform, and creamy with no distinct odor. Formula-fed infants' stools are light yellow or clay-colored, drier, and less uniform. Mixed-fed infants' stools are more abundant, slightly softer, and have a distinct odor, usually dark brown. This condition is quite common in children and is related to feeding and gastrointestinal function. Generally, no special treatment is needed, as it can recover on its own. If necessary, you can take Pan Deyu Sheng, Multienzyme Tablets, or Lizhu Changle to enhance absorption and digestion.
