What Causes Green Stools With Foul Odour In A Formula Fed Infant?
My baby is 5weeks trying to find the right formula for him. The first two kept him constipated, the one he s on now seems to help. My concern is now his bowel movements are dark green foul smelling with what looks like undigested milk (white chalky bits) in it. What could this mean, do I need to change formula?
Welcome at HCM i appreciate your health concerns.. Formula milk should always be started after consultation with the pediatrician. If you have started one just try to see for its compliance. If your child develops diarrhoea or vomiting then immediately stop it and meet your pediatrician. Hope it helps Regards Dr Saad Sultan
