Patient's question:
My child is six months old, breastfeeding, and has bowel movements several times a day, which are green and runny. There are also bubbles. What could be the reason? The elders said that because I started working recently, I got a "fire" in my body, and the child got a "fire" too after drinking milk. Is that the case? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your baby's stool is green, it may be due to the following reasons:Hunger-related stool: Due to insufficient feeding, the main components of the stool are intestinal secretions. The stool is dark brown or dark green, appears frequently but in small amounts, and may contain mucus.
Digestive issues: The stool is yellow-green, watery, and of inconsistent consistency. Frequent bowel movements may also be caused by a cold abdomen. Pay attention to keeping your baby's abdomen covered at all times, as a cold navel can also lead to discomfort and green stools.
