What Causes Green Colored Stools In A 6 Month Old?
My six month old baby has done four poops green with white stringy lumps in, is this normal? She also vomitted up her milk feed yesterday evening and in the night but has had porridge, milk and water this morning fine. She started weaning about three weeks ago. She seems happy and comfortable.

many causes can contribute to green poop
1) iron supplements, poop will be dark green
2)infection, poop will have bad odour, may be accompanied with fever then you will need an antibiotic
3)change of formula milk type, some babies are allergic ti some types of formula milk
4)teething
5) stomach flu
for vomiting, you can use an over the counter antiemetic, but make sure you keep away of drugs containing primperan as contraindicated in children
