why my baby motion in green color

Question

Accepted Answer

hi
usually it is normal.
so don't worry.
in Breastfed babies ,it is caused by imbalance between foremilk and hindmilk.
so please feed your child on each breast atleast 20 minutes so he or she can get full fat hindmilk well.
make changes in your diet also as it might be a reaction to the food which you ate.

but if a child is formulafed baby then it is caused by iron supplements of formula.
so don't worry.

but if your child passes green stool in too much watery or hard like stone consistency with foul smell and mucus then you should consult your pediatrician.

Answer

Don't worry about the colour of the stool if the consistency is normal and keep feeding your baby well on regular intervals and always burp after feeds by holding him across your shoulder for 10 to 15 mins after feeding
