Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your 10 month old son and understood the concerns.
Sine the loose stools are of green color the most probable reason is obviously intestinal infection through the containers of cerelac, breast feeding.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Since the son is only 10 month old, you should consult a Pediatrician for proper clinical evaluation and examination; get stool and blood tested.
Proper prescription based antibiotic, metronidazole may be needed along with probiotics.
Keep the utensils used sterile.
Wash the nipple area with spirit and allow it to dry completely before breast feeding.
These things will help to avoid recurrence.
