Baby has green poop on the fifth day, what's going on?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

There are several possible reasons why bowel movements are green. First, it could be due to catching a cold. You can warm up your hands and gently massage your baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction twice a day. This can effectively improve the condition and prevent indigestion. Second, it could be because the baby was startled, which is an old saying. You can reflect on whether there have been any unsettling events for the baby. Third, it could be that the mother consumed green vegetables (if breastfeeding), and through breast milk, the baby has also absorbed these green nutrients, causing the stool to turn green.
