Patient's question:
My baby is 7 and a half months old. His bowel movements have been green for the past month. I don't know what's wrong. Currently, the baby is eating formula and breast milk. Previously, I gave him rice cereal.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, the color of most babies' feces is determined by their recent diet. At seven months old, babies usually need to be introduced to a variety of complementary foods. Excessive consumption of vegetables or if the mother has recently eaten a lot of vegetables can both lead to green stools. As long as the baby does not exhibit symptoms such as severe abdominal pain or vomiting, there is no need to be overly concerned.
