Parents should pay attention to the stool condition of their babies, as observing their stool can provide timely information on their physical condition. Some babies have green stools, and parents do not know what causes them to have green stools. Let's take a look together at what's going on with Baby Green Baba?
1. The baby is catching a cold and experiencing indigestion
Babies who catch a cold or have indigestion may experience milk overflow and diarrhea. If bacterial infection is detected, active treatment is necessary. If there are no abnormalities in the stool test, it may be a problem with the baby's digestive system or a cold stomach.
2. The baby hasn't eaten enough
Some babies who are fed on time may experience rapid gastrointestinal peristalsis due to hunger, and the bilirubin in the intestines may not be converted, resulting in green and watery stools.
3. Excess bile
Because the consumption of bile is relatively low during fat digestion, excess bile will be excreted from the stool, resulting in the stool appearing green. If the mother thinks that the baby eats too much, it will cause indigestion. It is recommended to give the baby some probiotics.
4. Milk powder containing iron
If a baby eats milk powder containing iron, because the iron in the milk powder is not absorbed, the stool will be yellow green with white particles, and there will be a bad smell.
5. Baby starts adding vegetable puree
When babies add complementary foods, it is normal for them to have green stools after adding vegetables. Mothers should never stop adding vegetable puree just because their stool is green.
