Lovleena MishraMom of 2 children4 years agoA. This happens when there is an improper mixing of foremilk and hindmilk. Milk which comes out first from the breast, foremilk, has a low fat constitution and is rich in lactose. Hind milk comes out after foremilk and is rich in fat. When there is an abundance of foremilk, the baby is full before she can get to the hindmilk. This causes digestive problems as there may not be enough lactase to break down lactose, leading to green coloured stools. If mother's diet is filled with a lot of greens like spinach or peas, then baby's stools can be green too.
