Patient's question:
My baby is 4 months old and has dark green stools. What could be the reason?History of previous treatment and its effectiveness: None
What kind of help is needed: What is the reason
Doctor's answer:
Babies who are fed with formula milk can also cause this. The iron element consumed by the baby is not fully absorbed in the body and is excreted through the feces. When it comes into contact with air, it reacts to form a dark green color, which can also be left untreated. Additionally, it's important to consider the possibility of indigestion. You should check the baby's stool to see if it is due to indigestion. If the examination doesn't reveal any issues, it is most likely normal. Without any other abnormalities, it's best to wait and see for now and avoid treatment. Don't worry.
