While the occasional green stools are considered normal, it could be a sign that your baby is not feeding well. In particular, if a breastfed baby is consistently having green stools, this could indicate that the baby may have: - an imbalance of foremilk/hindmilk, often resulting in frothy green stools. - a sensitivity to something in the mother’s diet, such as cow’s milk products - a sensitivity to medication that the mother is taking, such as antibiotics or iron supplements - a sign that baby has an illness. Babies with an intestinal virus or even a simple cold will sometimes have green, mucusy stools. Teething can also bring about green stools due to increased saliva (can also cause tummy upset) - a lot of green vegetables or something with green food coloring in mom’s diet. - If baby has started solids, that could also account for the change in color (this is normal with the change in diet). It is best to contact your doctor for more advice if needed. You may need to change how you are breastfeeding your baby, or make some changes to your diet.
