What to do if your baby's poop is green

Many babies are born every year. In today's society, children are very precious and are related to the happy development of a family. Although there are many babies, they are not easy to raise, especially for first-time parents who are young and energetic and don’t know how to take care of children. It's inevitable to be careless. Babies are very fragile when they are just born and need special care from their loved ones. Children at this time will have many problems, such as what to do if their stool turns green.

Some infants and young children have frequent bowel movements but small amounts of stool, and the stool is mostly green and mucous. If there are fewer curds, it means the child eats too much and the amount of milk should be gradually reduced. Some children still have diarrhea after reducing the amount of milk. This may be hunger diarrhea, and the amount of milk should be increased appropriately.

Catch a cold. If the milk the child drinks is a little cold or the child's abdomen or feet are cold, the stool may turn green. This is because catching a cold can cause the intestines to move too quickly, and the biliverdin in the colon does not have time to be reduced to bilirubin, so it appears green. This is one of the common causes of green stool. Green stools caused by this reason may also have symptoms similar to a cold. If you only have green stools, pay attention to keeping your abdomen warm, especially at night, and you will recover in a few days. If you have cold symptoms, you should also receive symptomatic treatment for the cold.

hunger. Some babies do not eat enough, and hunger will speed up intestinal peristalsis and cause green stools. Babies may cry and be restless due to hunger, which can be easily distinguished from the other situations mentioned above. In this case, just increase the amount of milk and make sure the baby is full.

Iron-fortified formula. The stool of artificially fed children is alkaline, which can further convert some fecal bilirubin into fecal bilirubin, which is colorless, so the stool is mostly light yellow. If your baby's formula isn't fully absorbed from the iron in it, it can also cause his stools to be green.

Many adults do not take it seriously when they see green beans in their baby’s poop and think it is normal. In fact, it is not. This should also be taken care of. The child’s body can only be carefully taken care of by adults at this time. Green stool is a common phenomenon in infants, but the severity varies depending on the physical constitution of each baby. I hope every adult can pay attention to this and lay a solid foundation for the baby's health.
