Is Green Watery Stool In A Newborn A Concern?

Hello Doctor, my 25 day baby born at 37 week and 5 days is on Nan pro diet from day 1. For first 2 weeks we were on 30 ml every 3 hours diet and then increased to 60 ml every 2.5 - 3 hours based on his crying need for next 10 days and from 24th day increased it to 70 ml and .Now the question is initially his stool was in yellow colour with semi solid not very solid and not watery and for the past 2 days its in green with some yellow bulky substance and feel it to be littler watery as well compared to semi solid. He is on Colic aid as well since he used to cry at nights from 11 pm to 4 am. He also passes lot of flatters. He burbs very rarely. Have taken photo of the same and if it is OK , I can upload it here. I am bit concerned and being sunday, Request you to do the needful. Born weight : 3.08KG Discharge : 2.72 10 days : 2.82 17 days : 3.06 24th day : 3.2

Hello,

Green and yellow semisolid stools are normal on neonates. Also, do augmented weight gain is present, so nothing to worry. You have an increased amount of milk adequately, flattering never matters. I advise you to provide him breastfeeding.


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

Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
