Why does the baby's stool have green color? Under normal circumstances, the stool of exclusively breastfed children is yellow or golden yellow, even like ointment, without odor, and defecates 2-4 times a day. Green stool generally occurs in infants aged 0-1. If the baby drinks milk powder, green stool is normal. This is because the milk powder contains iron. If it is not completely absorbed, the stool will turn green. Fat in the digestion process, due to the consumption of less bile, excess bile is discharged from the stool, which will also make the stool green. But if the baby's stool is green, it is accompanied by milk or foam, which is a bad digestion or gastrointestinal flora disorder.
The baby's digestive system is not well developed and has poor adaptability. There are many reasons for indigestion. The following three aspects should be paid special attention to. The first is improper feeding. Generally, some supplementary foods can be added when the baby is 4-6 months old. At this time, the baby's intestines and stomach can digest better. If added too early, it will lead to indigestion. Second, breast fed children have this problem, which may be related to their mothers eating too cold or irritating food. Third, don't give your baby too much to eat. Leave time for adjustment for your intestines and stomach. Therefore, it is suggested that when the baby pulls green stool, find out the reason first. Usually, as long as you adjust your diet, you don't have to worry too much. However, if the baby often has this situation and does not gain weight, it means that the baby's gastrointestinal absorption function is not good. It's best to see a doctor.
