What Causes Greenish Stools In A Baby

My year old son has a greenish discharge and cries when it comes out but is otherwise fine and bouncy? I am worried it is an infection. Should I go to the emergency room or is it something that I can take care of in the morning? It's even a little brownish.

* This is in relation with intestine infection through some sort of bacteria
or virus which may be ingested in food or liquids contaminated or
through some toys kept in mouth , eating with unhygienic hands .
