What Causes Green Stool In A Child?

Hi .. my baby is 2 months old. Due to less milk supply I was taking lactare capsules 1-1-1. Last week my supply was still not meeting my baby s demand so started taking lactare 2-2-2 after consulting my paed. during these days my baby is passing green stools. Could it be bcoz of increase in lactare dose ?

hi..lacterate given to increase milk production..
green stool in baby is highly suspicious for that babay gets low calori milk or only foremilk and not hindmilk.
that means you are not feedinf babay properly long time.
breast feeding must be comleted each side..
or if not possible start next feeding from the same bteast ..it will solve your problem.
even if it is not clear...consult pediatric doctor..
