What Does Dark Green Stools In Toddlers Imply?

Hi Do I am Mom of 6.5 months old baby boy. We have started semisolids for him from past 15 days. He is passing dark green thick stools when given apple puree. Is it fine? Shall we continue wheat apple cereal for him since he already accepted home prepared wheat cereal ?

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...it is fine and it is quite normal too. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. You can continue wheat cereal and apple puree.
