If there is absence of blood in stools, there is no fever and distension of abdomen then there seems to be no cause for concern.
Greenish stools are seen in breast feed babies who are not adequately given hindmilk(last milk coming out from breast) to drink. It leads to lactose overload and excessive fomentation leading on to green stools.
Babies usually pass stools after every feeds due to hyper active Gastro- colic reflex which occurs at age of 6- 9 months of age. 10-12 stool movements in absence of signs of dehydration and baby acepting feeds well , there is no cause for concern
Take Care
