Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day
Green stools is mainly due to insufficient hind milk being taken by baby.hind milk is last portion of milk from breast which is rich in fats. So excessive consumption of lactose in stool causes green stools. I would suggest you to give mainly breastfeeding, empty one breast and switch over to other. Drugs and foods promoting lactation can also be given.
Take care
