Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Green stools in children are likely to be baby not getting hindmilk(last portion of milk from breast). Emptying one breast completely before shifting baby to next breast will solve the issue.
Babies around 4 to 5 months of age pass stools after every feeds, if the baby is not dehydrated and sleeping for 1 to 2 hours after feeds there seems to be no cause for concern.
Local application f Either Himalaya Diaper rash cream or Sebamed Diaper rash cream will be beneficial.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
