Why is my newborn's stool green?

Green stool in newborns is usually related to the development of the digestive system and diet. Below are the main causes and management suggestions: 1. **Dietary factors**: Green stool in breastfed newborns may be related to the mother's diet, especially the intake of green vegetables or certain foods. In addition, for formula-fed infants, components in the formula may also cause changes in stool color. 2. **Indigestion**: The digestive system of newborns is not yet fully developed, and indigestion can cause the stool to turn green. This is often accompanied by diarrhea or an increased frequency of bowel movements. 3. **Infection or pathological causes**: In some cases, green stool may be associated with intestinal infection or other pathological issues. If symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, or fever occur, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a newborn's stool remains green and is accompanied by other discomfort symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical advice promptly.
