Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your 7 months old baby, given gerber apple and she pooped dark green. Also happening with banana and mango.
Green stool after fruits indicate a few things:
The commonest being an infection.
Since the baby is just 7 months the intestines start getting accustomed to the new bacterial exposure and respond accordingly.
Giving the fruits as you have mentioned, has challenged the intestines for the first time and hence the green poops.
Get the stool tested, if it shows infection your baby would need an antibiotic and supportive therapy.
I find this answer helpful
