Patient's question:
My baby is now 80 days old and has always been in good health. But recently, for some reason, he had loose stools followed by green ones. We gave him medicine, and now he doesn't have as many loose stools, but his poop still has green bits.Doctor's answer:
The reasons for a baby having green stools are usually as follows:1. Catching a cold.
2. Poor digestion. A baby's gastrointestinal function is not yet fully developed, and eating too much or too can cause poor digestion, leading to green stools.
3. The elderly often say that green stools are caused by being startled. (I don’t really believe it.)
Solutions:
- Pay attention to keeping warm.
- Feed in moderation.
- Avoid feeding milk that is too hot or too cold.
- If the baby does not improve on its own, you can give a little Lactobacillus to regulate it. Lactobacillus is colorless and odorless and works very well.
