Thanks for the query.
Green stool may be due to infection viral or bacterial , parasite.
Early transit of food from the gut may also cause it.
Inadequate hind milk feeding, delayed starting of solid food, recent change in the baby's diet are some of the reason.
If the child is gaining weight, no fever, no vomiting, activity is normal then there is nothing to worry.
If problem persists see a doctor and get stool test done.
Hope i heped you.
