A. Passing green coloured stools is normal. It is common with formula feed. As long as baby is active alert there is no need to worry. As long as there is no passage of blood or mucus there is no need to worry

A. Babies who are formula fed, it is common for them to pass green or dark colored stool almost daily. This is due to the iron present in formula which makes the color change. There is no need to be concerned. As long as baby passes stool regularly without any uncomfortable, it is all fine.
