What causes green color bowel movement in an infant?
Patient: Hello doctor, Past 1 month my baby(sixth month) motion is in green color, still it is going as it is. I need a solution for this. kindly inform me if there any solution for this. i am working women. i give baby to "nan pro milk power".waiting for your reply. Doctor: Greenish stools are normal in a child of this age. It is caused due to rapid transit of fecal matter through the large intestines where it does not get adequate time for the bile pigments to convert into the yellow pigment of stool. It is not a cause of concern and does not need to be treated.Breast milk is the best possible feed for a baby and there can be no alternatives for the same. It would be appreciable if you can express your breast milk and refrigerate it for later use when you are away to office. If that is not feasible, giving Nan Pro would be fine. From the 6th month, inclusion of semi solids into diet would be advisable.
