Are Green Stools, With Banana Intake Normal In Infants?
my baby tried a banana for her first time today. she's 4 1/2 months. now her poop is green and she is very gassy. should i worry that she is allergic or is this normal? she LOVED eating it. cried when i stopped feeding it to her, so she seems ready but i dont want to upset her poor tummy.
