Hello,
Here might be suspicious of lactose overload from the breast milk causing greenish loose stools; viral infection; normal in some babies; allergy to something in mother`s diet; something green in mother/baby`s diet; medications for mother/baby, etc.
Temporary stopping of mother`s milk is not dangerous, it is a safe decision for early recovery of the child, only have to maintain hydration level at its best level with alternative liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
