What should I do if my baby has green diarrhea?

In the process of raising and feeding a child, sometimes the baby will have some bowel movements. The color of the stool may be different, many are green or black. Normal stools are yellow or golden yellow, sticky and relatively uniform, with a sweet and sour smell, but not very ugly, and there is no obvious mucus. Occasionally, it will contain some milk curds or a slightly green color. So what is the reason for the baby's stool to be 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 it is indigestion and stop adding vegetable puree.

If the stool is dark green, it is mostly a sign of indigestion. We recommend giving your baby some oral medications that help digestion. For babies who are breastfed, the stool is acidic and sometimes mixed with some white particles. As long as the baby eats well and is in a good mental state, there is no problem.
