Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Green color stool is some times a normal phenomenon in newborn babies.
It is not due to domstal drops.
Observe for stool consistency, foul smelling, or any mucus in stool and if you find any consult the pediatrician.
In infants in early months, the stool may vary from green to yellow.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
