What to Do If Your Baby Has Green Stools?

My baby is 43 days old and is mainly breastfed (now one to two times formula a day, previously three to five times). Starting from the thirteenth to fourteenth day, for some unknown reason, he has been having diarrhea four to five times a day, and sometimes the stool is slightly immersed. The stool has turned green recently. I would like to ask an expert what’s going on and how to treat it? Thank you very much! Inadequate feeding or care can easily lead to diarrhea. Common causes include: eating too much or too often, which increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract; poor feeding quality, which prevents food from being fully digested; or irregular feeding schedules, which prevent the gastrointestinal tract from forming a regular reflex to secrete digestive juices, leading to decreased digestive function. In summary, unreasonable feeding is a major cause of infantile diarrhea. Additionally, gastrointestinal infections caused by contaminated food or utensils can also lead to diarrhea. When infants catch a cold or suffer from diseases such as influenza or hepatitis, it can also cause digestive function disorder and lead to diarrhea.

Appropriate use of traditional Chinese medicine for spleen and stomach regulation can help promote digestion and absorption, restoring appetite. Medicinal porridge can stimulate appetite, and infants with poor appetite can consume it moderately.
