Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Just green color is not an abnormality in infants as there may be color variation in the stool in infants.
If it is loose, foul smelling, or with mucus and blood then it is suggestive of some infection.
Give exclusive breast feeds and weight gain will be there and you can check his weight gain at regular intervals during visits.
You can give multivitamin drops supplementation.
Give all recommended vaccinations as per the schedule.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
