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. When a baby catches a cold or has indigestion, they may experience spitting up and green bowel movements. If you can't determine the cause, you should see a doctor for a stool examination. If there's an infection, active treatment is needed. If the test results are normal, it may be due to indigestion or a cold abdomen.
2. If a child isn't well-fed, hunger can cause faster gastrointestinal movement, resulting in green and loose stools.
3. If you think your baby is eating a lot, it might be indigestion. You can give her Mamiya (a probiotic supplement).
4. Additionally, for your baby's health, it's important to consume enough iron. Babies who drink iron-fortified formula may have yellow-green stools with larger white particles and a stronger odor if they can't fully absorb the iron from the formula.
5. Some babies may pass small amounts of green vegetable puree in their poop when they first start eating solid foods. Some parents mistakenly think it's indigestion and stop adding puree, but this is actually a common occurrence when healthy babies transition to new foods.
Observing the texture of a baby's or toddler's stool can help understand their digestive health.
