Patient's question:
I noticed that the baby's bowel movements are green, a bit like dark green. Normal stool should be golden yellow. I've never seen this before. The stool isn't very runny, and he only had one bowel movement a day. He didn't seem to be uncomfortable in any other way, so I didn't take him to see a doctor.What kind of assistance I need: The baby's bowel movements have been green in the last two instances. I'd like to ask what might be causing this?
Doctor's answer:
1, First, if the mother's milk supply is sufficient, it is recommended to exclusively breastfeed.2, Pay attention to the quality of diet: When mixed feeding or artificial feeding is used due to insufficient or lack of breast milk, dietary adjustments should be noted.
3, Breastfeeding mothers must pay attention to a balanced diet, proper and comprehensive nutritional combination, and a light diet.
4, Carefully observe the baby's stool color, whether there is mucus or purulent blood, body temperature, mental state, appetite, and whether there is crying or restlessness. If the baby's stool frequency is high, there is mucus or purulent blood, poor mental state or appetite, and increased urine output, take the baby to the hospital for follow-up as soon as possible.
