What Causes Green Bowel Movement In An Infant?
Question: I am blessed by a baby girl on 10-10-2014. From last two days my baby is passing greenish yellow stool. I am littlebit worried about this. My baby is taking only breast feeding. Can you pl suggest what should be my diet which can help my baby an myself at this time.
Brief Answer:
It can be due to fore milk / hind milk imbalance.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing to us about it.
Congratulation on your baby girl!
As your infant is on breastfeeding the chances of infection are normally not there. If your infant is growing properly then there is no need to worry.
In your case it is due to frequent breast feeding and due to imbalance between foremilk and hindmilk means you are eating her very frequently from one breast and she is not taking the last part of milk which is rich in fat and nutrient.
Solution of your problem is feeding your baby in 2-3 hrs. Period and feed on one breast for at least and 1/2 hrs. Then simply switch to the other breast.
You can take diet, which is plentiful in low fat dadaliyaoduct, daliya, whole wheat prdalct, Moong dal and drink a lot of water.
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Good luc. .

Dear Doctor,
Thanks for your reply.
I have one doubt, my grandma send me two jars of "Desi Ghee" made from cow milk from our native place and she told me to take Ghee with lunch, which may help me to dry the stiched areas and also good for helth.
Will it be really helpful, kindly guide.
