Why is the stool green in a full-month baby?

Mom and Dad take care of their babies meticulously. The younger the baby is, the more attention they need. It can be said that every aspect of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating requires care from mom and dad. One way to observe a baby's health is to check the baby's stool, which can show whether the baby has diarrhea or indigestion. Some parents find that their children's stool is green, so why is the stool of a one-month-old baby green?

1. Babies may spit up milk or have green stools when they catch a cold or have indigestion. If you cannot determine which situation is causing it, you need to see a doctor to check the stool. If there is an infection, active treatment is required. If the test results are normal, the child may have indigestion or a cold abdomen.

2. When the child is not full, the child's gastrointestinal movement is too fast due to hunger, and the stool becomes green and watery.

3. If you think your baby eats a lot, it is because of indigestion. Give her Mommy Love.

4. In addition, for the health of the baby, it is necessary to take in enough iron. If the baby who eats milk powder containing iron cannot fully absorb the iron in the milk powder, the stool will be yellow-green, the white particles in the stool will be larger, and it will be more likely to have a foul odor.

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

6. The stool is loose, yellow-green and contains mucus, and sometimes resembles tofu dregs. This may be fungal enteritis. Babies with fungal enteritis may also suffer from thrush. If the child has the above symptoms, he needs to go to the hospital for treatment.

These are all possible explanations for why a one-month-old baby's stool is green. As can be seen above, the reasons for the baby's green stool may be normal, such as eating milk powder high in iron, or green vegetable puree, in which case there is no problem; some are due to gastrointestinal discomfort or digestive problems, causing the stool to be green. Therefore, parents need to solve the problem of green stools for babies based on the actual situation.
