What Causes Unusual Stool With Discoloration?

My 4 month old has had green stools since 1 month when I switched to formula. I was told this is OK however in the past week she has twice passed a more solid spongy doughy moosy green ball shape that seams dry, not at all the more liquidy creamy stool she passed before. I am rather concerned. Pls Help.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello,

Green colored stools in babies are often normal. Passing dry pebbles like stools is a sign of constipation and you may consider changing formula feed with more liquid consistency.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
