What Causes Dark Green Stool In An Infant?

Hi Doc my baby is 6 months old and started solid food. I am breastfeeding and formula feed. From newborn to 6months I gave him s-26 as formula feed and poo color is yellow and change his formula to nan ha gold which his poo turns to dark green color. My concern is, is it normal to have this poo color?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just eeas through your question.
It is very common to see a change in the color of stool when the diet is changed. As long as your baby is reasonably comfortable during bowel movements, there is no reason to be concerned about the green color.
