A. Greenish poop in infants, especially after vaccination, is generally normal and not a cause for concern. Here's why: Possible Reasons for Green Poop: Post-Vaccination Response: Vaccinations can sometimes cause mild changes in digestion, leading to green poop. Foremilk-Hindmilk Imbalance: If the baby is breastfeeding and only consuming the foremilk (watery milk at the start of feeding), the poop may appear green. Iron Supplements: If your baby is on iron-fortified formula or supplements, it can cause green stools. Mild Infection: Occasionally, green poop may indicate a mild viral or bacterial infection, but this is less likely if there are no other symptoms like fever or discomfort. Dietary Influence (if on Formula): Formula-fed babies may have green stools depending on the formula type. When to Be Concerned: If the poop is very watery and frequent (sign of diarrhea). If the baby has a fever, is excessively fussy, or shows signs of dehydration. If there is blood or mucus in the stool. If the baby is not feeding well or seems lethargic. What You Can Do: Monitor: Keep an eye on the baby's feeding patterns, behavior, and frequency of poops. Breastfeeding Tips: Ensure the baby feeds long enough on each breast to get the hindmilk. Hydration: Continue breastfeeding or formula feeding on demand to keep the baby hydrated. Consult a Pediatrician: If you notice concerning symptoms or if the green poop persists for more than a week without an apparent reason.
