No big deal.: Stools can vary in color for babies. They can be any shade of yellow, brown or green. The main color of stool that should cause concern is white, which shows an absence of bile salts from the gall bladder, an indicates a serious problem.

Normal variation: The color of poo is derived from the waste pigment that end up in the bile, which is added to the intestines from the liver. It starts out an intense green & over time may change thru yellow to brown. The germs of the intestine convert the pigment as it transits the digestive tract. The less germ action the less color change.Loose stools are often a greenish color for this reason.
