Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My child is 8 months and is milk and soya intolerant, he has had green stools since being on nutramigen aa which I am told is normal, but when changing his nappy today his stool was greeny/pale grey colour and looked a little mucusy is this something i should be concerned about?
Hi, Can understand your concerns. Green colour stools are normal in babies, it occurs because of decreased transit time of food in intestine of babies. Due to decrease transit time, the bile is not separated from food. Due to this the colour of stools appear green in colour. Sometimes the child can also pass Golden and yellow colour stools, both of these colours are also normal. At this age, Semi solid food should be started.
I hope this will help you. Wishing your child could help. Take care.
