Seven month old baby poops green

Some parents start feeding their seven-month-old babies milk powder. At this time, sometimes the amount of milk powder cannot be controlled well, and insufficient feeding will easily cause the baby to have green stools. Parents should pay attention to the amount of milk they feed their children. It must be enough so that the baby can be full.

Why is my seven-month-old baby having green loose stools?

There are several reasons why babies have green loose stools. First, milk products are rich in iron, which is not fully absorbed in time and is excreted from the stool, making the stool green. Second, during the digestion of fat, less bile is consumed, and the excess bile is excreted from the stool, making the stool green. Third, there is inflammation in the intestine or the intestinal peristalsis is too fast, so the bilirubin in the intestine is excreted from the stool before it is converted, making the stool green. Fourth, the child’s stomach caught a cold and the child’s intestines and stomach had digestion problems.

What to do if your seven-month-old baby has green loose stools

Green stool is called hunger diarrhea, which means that the baby is full after eating the foremilk and has not drunk enough hindmilk. Foremilk is relatively thin and contains protein and water, which is used to quench thirst. Hindmilk contains fat and calories, which is used to quench hunger and gain weight. Each time the baby drinks milk, the feeding time should be longer. If there is too much milk, squeeze out some of the foremilk and let the baby drink more hindmilk. Babies who drink breast milk are less likely to get sick.

Parents who have taken care of newborn babies know that they can determine whether the baby is healthy by the shape and color of the baby's stool. The above is an explanation of what happens when a seven-month-old baby has green loose stools. I hope that after understanding the reasons why the baby has green loose stools, parents will understand how to deal with the green loose stools of a seven-month-old baby.
