What Causes Green Stool In Infants When On Formula Milk?
Question: Hi, i am giving formula milk since last 20 days to my 3 months old baby. She still does greenish poop. Is this is normal with formula fed babies? By when this will be normal?
Brief Answer:
It is normal - Do not worry
Detailed Answer:
Hi...it is completely normal for any baby who is formula fed. Do not worry.
Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.
It need not become normal.
Sometimes this type of diarrhea can alternate with constipation too. Whatever it is what is more important is the feeding and activity of the kid.
