Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM.
In a 4 months baby the liver is usually palpable.
Spleen may also be felt some times.
When there is no other problem nothing to worry.
Green motions may be due to infection or may be normal also.
You may give sporolac if you like.
Hope this answer serves your purpose.
Further queries invited.
