The baby will begin to discharge green stool 24 hours after birth, usually 2 to 3 days before it can be completely discharged, and then the baby's stool will return to normal golden yellow or yellow green. If the baby has green stool again at this time, it should be taken seriously. Some mothers think that vitamin D3 can help the baby to improve the symptoms of green stool. Other mothers ask, can D3 improve the baby's green stool?
Vitamin D3 cannot help improve the condition of green stool in babies, and may even worsen the symptoms of green stool. If mothers want to improve their baby's green stool condition, it is best to first understand the reasons that cause the baby to excrete green stool. Firstly, they should consider that the baby may have caught a cold in the abdomen, because catching a cold can accelerate intestinal peristalsis, and the biliverdin in the intestines will be excreted with the stool in time, resulting in the stool turning green.
For babies who catch a cold in the abdomen, mothers only need to do a good job of keeping the baby warm and letting the baby drink some warm water in moderation to solve the problem. If the baby eats too much and is too full, it may cause indigestion and lead to the discharge of green stool. This is because fat consumes less bile during digestion, and excess bile can make the stool turn green. In this case, mothers should pay attention to regular and quantitative feeding, massage the baby's abdomen, or eat some probiotics, which can help adjust gastrointestinal function.
In addition, babies who are not full, have high iron content in formula milk powder, lactose intolerance, or have just eaten green vegetables as complementary foods can also cause their baby to have green stools. If the mother has ruled out the above methods and the baby's green stools have not improved and continue to have green stools, then the mother should take it seriously. It is best to take the baby to the hospital for a routine stool examination to confirm the cause and take targeted measures for treatment as soon as possible.
