Patient's question:
My child has been having dark green bowel movements for two and a half months. Is there a problem? Is a body temperature of 36.9°C considered a fever? Please answer this question for me. Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Possible reasons for green baby poop:1. Infants may experience spitting up and green bowel movements when they catch a cold or have indigestion. If you cannot determine the cause, you should see a doctor for a stool examination. If there is an infection, active treatment is needed. If the test results are normal, it may be due to indigestion or a cold abdomen.
2. When a child is not well-fed, hunger can cause rapid gastrointestinal movement, resulting in green and loose stools.
3. If you think your baby is eating a lot, it could be indigestion. You can give her Mamiyai.
4. Additionally, for the baby's health, it is essential to consume sufficient iron. Babies who drink iron-fortified formula may have yellow-green stools, with larger white particles in the stool and a stronger odor if they cannot fully absorb the iron from the formula.
5. Some babies may pass small amounts of green vegetable puree in their stool when they first start eating solid foods. Some parents often mistake this for indigestion and stop adding puree, but this is actually a common occurrence when healthy infants transition to new foods.
Observing the characteristics of a baby's stool can help understand their digestive health.
