Why Small Amount Of Green Poop During The Day?
Question: 2 months old have to two times small amount of green pop during the day, doesn't seem to be diarrhea and seems well
Brief Answer:
Observe for a few more days, nothing to worry if it settles down.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is normal for babies to pass such green coloured stools once in a while, keep a watch on the stools and also closely observe for any other changes like refusal to feed or irrtability.
If otherwise normal, then it will settle down in a day or two.
However, if you notice irritability, not accepting feeds, then you should visit a local pediatrician and get your baby looked at.
Make sure you feed your baby only mother's breast milk and nothing else.
I hope this answers your query.
Warm regards.
