Baby has green stools

TTC LADY · Nov 5th, 2009, 15:27 PM

Recently Ive noticed that riya's nappies have some green poop in them, as well as mustard coloured poop.

Is it normal to have green stools for a formula fed baby ? Or could this be a symptom of something else ?

I think certain formulas can cause this, noah used to be on cow and gate comfort which made his green.

Colic also makes poo go green for some reason. my daughter is on cow and gate and never had green poo except the days where she had been screaming with colic, mentioned to my health visitor and she said it was colic causing the green poo x

dd is breastfed, and her actual poos are mustardy...but if she farts (and she always has a little follow through) the follow through is greeny. I attributed it to colic, too.

Imi is on Aptimal and she had 2 days of very green poos last week. I was told not to worry as completly normal

Linds is bf baby, but she had green poo quite regularly. Doc said that's perfectly normal; has to do with how much bile from the gallbladder is released. I noticed with Linds it was also green right b4 she got sick with a cold and just as the cold was ending too...

He said that could affect it too but its nothin' to worry about.

my pedi told me it was the iron in the formula and is completely normal

Okay, I'm glad to read it's normal. I recently switched to FF and Cameron's had green poo too
