What Causes Frequent And Green Stools In A Baby?

My baby is 7.5months, 91 percentile in weight and height. She is still being breast fed but is also being weaned onto solid food. Over the past few days she has started to poo more frequently. First thing in the morning, it is a very pasty and mushy poo. A few hours later it is followed by a green smaller but more liquid poo with white bits. I am concerned because this green poo has only started to appear this week. Could you please advise me on this? Thank you.

Hello. Welcome to HCM. Sometime the color of the poo may be caused by the baby's diet. So if your baby has eaten something green than the poop will come also a little green. If your baby has eaten red beet than his poop will became red. So it might be from this. Or something from mothers diet that passes through breast milk. Don't worry. After introducing solids baby will begin to poo more often and with many colors.
