Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history and understood your concerns.
As per the history you have posted, the vomiting and green mucus in stool indicate an intestinal infection passed on to the child on feeding.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Send the stool sample for test.
Consult a Pediatrician for clinical evaluation, examination and proper management as per clinical picture and lab report.
Also needed is to see for the sterility of the containers of mils and products that you must be giving to the child and also to see that the baby does not put everything that comes in contact.
I find this answer helpful
