A. yes, it's only because of iron drops, and no to worry about it. feed as often as they seem hungry or want comforted, offer more breastfeeds, feed from both breasts at each breastfeed.

A. Hi mom Green colour stool is normal in babies. This is due to imbalance between fore milk and Hind milk in breast feed babies. So no need to worry. Take care and all the best
