my baby is passing greenish motion

how old is your baby. generally green motion is a sign of tummy upset. if he is started on top feed, it means that's something is not agreeing with his stomach.

hi farah.. my baby is 2. 5months. she was earlier taking formula but now only breastfeed since 4 days.. passing greenish motion since 4 days only.. is there something that is not taking enough feed??

Divya gradual change is better than total change. consult your pediatrician. I think baby is reacting to a total change in diet. pediatrician might suggest a mix of both. plus if stools r slimy and very often, it might mean that baby has an infection.

thanks farah..

Sometimes greenish motion is due to cough or may be due to any infection. But my Ped told me greenish motion is normal if it is not loose.

is it because of less feeding? ?

no.... less feeding causes hard stool.

hi.... is ur baby had cough ? or in noon time u take ur baby out ?? or u ate something green. .??sometimes it was the reasn.. ur baby is too small.. breastfed her , stop giving formula milk for sone day.. i think digestion problem..

If your breast feeding ur baby make sure that baby get the hindmilk, too much of foremilk causes greenish poo in babies. u can chk with pedia.

did u gv lactogen to ur baby?

hii.. what is meaning of hind milk and foremilk?

it is generally because of top feed. nothing to worry about. very common...

fore milk which is starting watery milk which comes when u feed... hind milk is white thick milk

no azra. but yes I was giving other brand formula milk earlier( nan pro). now I have stopped giving formula milk.

My 5 months old baby always passing greenish motion as I am taking more green veggies.

greenish poop is mostly due to cold. If baby is suffering from cough and cold and loose morons too then meet your paediatric

if u r breast feeding then it may be due to fore milk , express out some milk just before feeding Ur li'll one.

if digestion prblm also. if it is white and red need to meet doctor. ntg happens.

babies do greenish poop due to multivitamins drops.

it could be a sign of some bacterial infection if its been happening for more than 4-5 days.. My baby had same thing and it turned out to be an infection for which doc gave him zinc drops for 15 days to free the intestines of infection... consult ur pead..

are u breast feeding

one thing is that u shdn be stressed while feeding which can also be one of the causes for green poop. be relaxed while feeding.. also get the medical help if the condition persists more than 5 days.

if ur baby is brest feed then poop will b green .. or when ur baby hvng any iron drop or green leaves food then also will greenish poop.. if ur so much worried then plz consult ur peadatric..

when my baby was on exclusive bread feeding she had this greenish poo problem. when I consulted my paediatrician he said if baby is active and not loosing the weight, then it is normal. when I started solids for her the poo became normal.. once consult with your pediatrician for confirmation.

if ur baby has cold then also it's possible l

hi divya cool... nothing to be worry for this cause ... iron drops also make the kind of greenish poop....

my baby poop is also green. very normal apparently

hi nothing to worry it's normal... when baby is suffer with cold and cough... or eating green s or hemiplegia( vatham ) green poop comes

my baby is 5 moths old exclusivly breastfed. was passing yellow stools till now.. suddenly is passing green poop for two weeks.. any problem?

it is completely normal don't worry. if the poop is black or white then please consult dr. other than that there is nothing to worry about. even if the baby is exclusive on bf , it depends on mom's diet what she had.

yeah it's completely normal. .....but for ur side of satisfaction u can ask ur ped

Ya i agree with pratima . u might b taking multi vitamin tablet. Right?

ya leela I am taking calcium n iron. but since long.. n green poop is only since 4 days.

Even my baby who is 3and 1/2mnths old is passing green poop n he is passing da poop once in 3 to 4 dayz .... is it ok.

Hello Divya, My Granny says, it is happen when a baby's mom does not have regular routine of eating. So try to follow the timing of eating, drink at least 3 lit water in a day. Everything will be ok.

Divi my son also doing the same. Bf babies may poop after 7days. Fm means daily thy hav to poop. Don't worry utill d stool still soft.

if u eat leaves then baby goes like that only motion. donot worry PA. it is not a problem

Foremilk is the initial watery milk which is rich in proteins... Hindmilk is the thick milk that comes later and is rich in fats... if your exclusively breastfeeding and you find ur baby's poop green, that's because the baby is receiving more of the foremilk n the protein is the one which makes it green... this happens if you swift ur breasts quite often while feeding.. that's y doctors suggest to give milk of one breast completely n then move to the other one, even if it is leaking on the other side... if your baby is active n not loosing weight take it easy dear :)

thanks sree vidya

My 4 months old son is not taking breastfeed and not even bottle. Please help..

If you are exclusively breastfeeding and if baby is active and is not ill and gaining weight, then you need not worry. Greenish Motion can be due to- Some Antibiotics given to baby for cold/infection; Infection when baby starts licking during mouthing period (baby try to lick everything he sees); Symptoms of growing first teeth; Sometimes some baby nutrition product like (Bal-Guti) may induce such symptoms; You may simply consult doctor and have your baby's greenish motion tested for any infection in good pathology lab. If report is normal and baby is active, no need to worry.

my 4 months old son is not taking breastfeed.. please advise

hi ANJANA do not panic try it but do not force Ur baby . let Ur baby to take for less time . if then also doesn't then meet Ur pediac. it happened with me also my baby was not having it I waited for 2-3 feed then called pediac she suggested to feed my expressed milk with spoon . she told that if baby gets more hungry then also refuse to have feed. but my baby was active . watch Ur baby activity , if u feel any difference. meetUr pediac.

my baby boy is 2. 5 months old... not passed motions since 7 days... is it normal? baby is active.

thts normal till the baby is nt having cold.... smtimes due to cold baby passed green color poo. also if u have introduced any new food or formula milk the baby tend to pass poo which is of green in color

Hi anjana Tell other than bf r u using bottle feed

thank you everyone :)

sorry divya i just saw ur post regarding foremilk n hindmilk. other moms have already explained it to u. how is your baby now?

thanks firstimemom. she is fine but hasn't passed motion since then :p. trying to give her hindmilk also. hope it will be ok now.

Dont worry dear. breast fed babies do tend to delay pooing. Reason being breast milk is very nutritious and gets absorbed fully so if there is no waste getting released there wont be any poo. just hv a track how many times she passes urine. If any concern get medical attention.

how many times can 4mon baby can go for motion.. both FM and BM feeding

your baby is having cold. usse thand lag gayi h . keep him warm and cozy.

hellow. my baby is having loose motion and vomitting. she is 18 month old. had given emeset and ORS. but still no improvement since two days. what should i do? what is the best treatment for her?

If ur baby is newborn den its normal.. or if ur baby has eaten spinach den also it's normal

Dnt worry its just due to warm environment
