Four-month-old baby is breastfed, recently the stool is very green, what is the reason?

Patient's question:

Breastfeeding, previously had yellow stools, recently very green, loose, and foamy. The child is in good spirits, just has more bowel movements than usual. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: none. Any assistance needed: understanding the cause and whether hospital treatment is necessary.

Doctor's answer:

The green stool you mentioned is generally a symptom of indigestion. It is recommended to apply a patch to the baby's navel to prevent cold, and change it every 12 hours.
Suggestions: Probiotics should be taken with lukewarm water. Mix 1 packet with 50ml of water, or half a packet with 25ml of water. Take it before meals. Do not defecate before or after taking the medicine. It should not be taken with milk, otherwise it is equivalent to not taking it at all. It is recommended to focus on oral medication. Wishing your baby a quick recovery.
