A. Changes in the consistency and color of your baby's stool can be common when introducing solid foods. Here’s what could be happening: 1. **Indigestion**: New foods can sometimes lead to temporary changes in stool consistency and color. Greenish stools with bubbles might indicate the presence of undigested food or a reaction to a new food. 2. **Diarrhea**: If the stool is very loose, watery, and frequent, it could be a sign of diarrhea. Diarrhea can be caused by various factors including a new food, a mild infection, or a sensitivity to certain foods. 3. **Normal Variation**: Babies' stools can vary in color and consistency, especially when transitioning to solids. Green stools can be normal, particularly if they contain foods like spinach or broccoli. Keep an eye on the frequency and consistency of the stool, and watch for signs of dehydration (such as fewer wet diapers, dry mouth, or lethargy). If your baby shows signs of discomfort, persistent diarrhea, or if you’re concerned, it’s a good idea to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues.
