Many parents pay special attention to their baby's stool because it can indirectly reflect the baby's physical condition. Some parents may find that their baby's stool is green and think it is an abnormal phenomenon, so they may be worried. So, now let's learn about the relationship between baby's green stool and formula milk?
Babies who consume formula milk have green stools mainly due to immature digestive system development, and the high iron content in the formula milk they consume can lead to green stools if the iron is not fully absorbed.
As babies grow older, their absorption and utilization of iron increase, and their symptoms gradually improve. As long as the baby's bowel movements do not increase, their characteristics are normal, and there are no other abnormalities in their development, it is considered a normal phenomenon. Reasonable feeding, strengthened care, and attention to keeping the abdomen warm should be given in daily life.
Under normal circumstances, stool is golden yellow in color and soft in texture. Sometimes the stool may be slightly acidic and appear dark green. If the child's mental state is good and there are no discomfort symptoms such as diarrhea, then there is no need to worry. If a child has loose stools and other discomfort symptoms such as bloating, it is considered to be caused by indigestion, and digestive aids can be given to the child. Babies have weak gastrointestinal and digestive functions, and sometimes an unreasonable diet structure or catching a cold can easily lead to symptoms such as diarrhea.
