Thank you for your query.There are different causes of green stool at babies:
-changing of formula;
-dysbiosis;
-color of cleaved protein;
-salmonellosis;
-stool can changed to green color due oxydation if we have not changed diapers for a long time.
I suggest-
-check stool analysis;
-stool culture for dysbiosis and sensitivity to antibiotics
-you can give econorm for 3-5 days,then babylac for 1 month for normal intestinal flora
Take care
Wishing to your baby and you good health
