Passing Green Stools After Introducing Solid Food In A Baby

My baby is 6.5 months, he is passing green stool from the time i introduced solid food to him. I breast feed him. He is active but he is not gaining weight . I dont know what to do. Im giving him 1 ml bonnisan drops in the morning and 1 ml gripe water at night before he sleeps. I give him a fruit in the morning and then mashed potato or cerelac for lunch n dinner. Im really worried!

Pediatrician 's  Response
Dear Saeeda,

If your baby is passing stools regularly and normally then I will not worry about the colour.

Regarding weight gain it would be better if the weight is recorded and plotted on standard weight graph and thereafter discussed with your pediatrician. May be the quantity of the food being given may have to be increased.

Regards.
