Question: Hi my baby is 3 month and half month old.. from past 1 week she suffered from diareah.. while finished taking bm she poops immediately green in colour with curd like appearance. Im worried.. please advice how to stop

Answer: Hie Green poop is often a result of imbalance in hindmilk and foremilk as long as your baby is content and gaining weight there is no reason to bother The watery milk that comes in first from your breast is called as foremilk it is rich in lactose and nutrients but low on calories while the hind milk comes down approximately 5-10 min later and is thicker and creamier comparatively And rich in fats that help baby gain weight Excess of foremilk which is lactose results in green poop in babies The solution to this would be ensure your baby empties one breast before moving on to the other At times a overflow of milk may also cause green poop

Answer: Hey, There are majorly 3 reasons for baby to pass green stool. First, imbalance in foremilk and hindmilk. When baby takes only foremilk he is likely to pass green stool. For this feed baby for minimum of 20mins each breast. This way he ll get hindmilk. Second, When baby has any bacterial or viral infection like cold and cough. Apply nutmeg paste on baby's chest feet and palms daily at night. And you can also use mustard garlic ajwain oil to massage his body. Third, It could be due to stomach infection. In this case get stool test done.

Answer: Consult your doc. I would suggest not to take horlicks yet. Wait till your baby is more than 6 months old. after that your baby's digestion system will start working more better.
