* This is in relation with gut flora disturbances from bottle feeding .
* Recommended for better outcome as
- stop bottle feeding right now .
- give only breast milk .
- observe for next 48 hours about change in stool color .
- consult later doctor only and only if color remains green ,
otherwise absolutely no necessity of doctor visit .
