Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

I have some questions for you before I can answer you better
1. What if frequency of stool
2. are they very large and watery
3.Apart from being greenish , is there is presence of blood in it
4.For how many days is your baby having loose motions
5. Is your baby passing urine as passes normally
6. What is age of your baby , diet of your baby
7. Is it associated with high fever, vomiting
8. Is your baby dull / irritable

Most diarrhoea last for 3-7 days.if baby is well , active , accepting feeds adequately , no large watery stools , no high fever , there is no blood in stool , passing urine every 3-4 hourly , there is no need to worry.colour of stool other than presence of blood is not significant.You need to worry if there is presence of blood or stools are large and watery .baby is dull or irritable , or passing less urine or having high fever.

let report of stools come, if there are no danger signs , you need not concern and wait for report

I have tried to answer your query with very little information avaiable. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us..

Wishing your baby good health.
