What might be causing a 1-year-old baby to have green poop?

Anyone who has raised a baby must have seen that the baby's poop is green. It is relatively normal for the baby's poop to be green from birth to about one year old. However, mothers need to pay attention to the nature of the baby's poop and how dark the color is, light green or very dark green? But why do children poop green?

Green stools in babies are generally caused by the following reasons. Mothers should pay attention to compare and determine what causes the baby to have green stools, and prescribe the right medicine to choose a treatment method suitable for the baby. What is the reason for the baby's green stool? The reasons are:

1. Babies may spit up milk or have green stools if they catch a cold or have indigestion. If there is a bacterial infection, active treatment is required. If the test results are normal, the baby may have indigestion or a cold abdomen.

2. When the baby is not full, the baby's gastrointestinal motility is too fast due to hunger, so the bilirubin in the intestines has not been converted yet and is excreted from the stool, making the stool green and watery.

3. During the digestion process of fat, less bile is consumed, and the excess bile is excreted in the stool, making the stool green. If the mother thinks that the baby eats a lot, it means that he has indigestion, and she can give the baby some probiotics.

4. If a baby who eats iron-containing milk powder cannot fully absorb the iron in the milk powder, his stool will be yellow-green, the white particles in the stool will be larger, and will be more likely to have a foul odor.

5. When babies first start eating vegetable puree, they often excrete a small amount of green vegetable puree in their stool. Some mothers often think that this is indigestion and stop adding vegetable puree. In fact, this phenomenon is common when healthy babies change their food.

After hearing what I said, everyone should have a good understanding of the characteristics of children's stool. It turns out that this is because the baby's gastrointestinal function has not yet fully developed. It is normal for the baby to defecate green stools. I hope all mothers can raise healthy babies. Health and happiness are what mothers want, right? I am also moved by the selflessness of mothers.
