Noticed Green Watery Motion After The Intake Of NAN Pro 1 & Breast Feeding

Hi Doctor, My daughter is 4 months, 1 Week old. She is having NAN PRO 1 in addition to mother feed. For the last couple of days, she is getting GREEN WATERY motion and she is not getting sleep during the night from her 2nd month. Is it something because of the Formula milk we are using for her ? Please clarify. Also please let us know the alternate for Mother Feed, as it is not adequate for her. Thanks, Veda

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thank you for asking on HealthCareMagic. Breast feeding is the best food for a baby and there can be no substitute for it. Formula milk is hard to digest and hence affects the quality of stool. Greenish stools are caused due to rapid transit through the large intestine. It is not a cause for worry.
If mother's milk is inadequate and if formula feeds are not well tolerated, you may introduce small amounts of mashed boiled semi solid food make from rice, pulses and vegetables. Although weaning is suggested from 6 months of age, earlier weaning is also acceptable if mother's milk is inadequate.

Hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
