Doctor's answer:

Hello! The baby has been experiencing green bowel movements. If the baby is breastfed, as long as the baby is consuming a normal amount of milk, is in a good mood, sleeps well, and is gaining weight normally, there is generally no need for special treatment. If the baby is being mixed-fed, it is necessary to determine whether the baby is eating enough. If the baby is not eating enough, the intestinal peristalsis may accelerate, which can also result in green stools. In this case, simply increasing the milk intake to ensure the baby is well-fed should be sufficient.
