What Causes Green Bowel Movements In A Child?

I m concerned about my 3 month old son....he has had green, smelly bowel movements now for over a week.... he was diagnosed with thrush over 2 weeks ago (still has it but is taking medicine for this)...I thought maybe it was due to the medicine but...now I m wondering if he has a virus of some sort? or...could he be lactose intolerant ? I breastfeed and bottlefeed him. Any ideas what this could be?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello. I just read through your question.
The color you describe is not abnormal, as long as the baby is otherwise ok. You do not have to change the diet, or anything else.
I find this answer helpful
