A member asked:

2.5 week old breastfed baby had normal mustardy poops but now has green, mucus poop. he is perfectly fine otherwise. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Green is normal: The body adds bile to the digestive process that colors the poo.It starts out dark green & gradually changes through green, yellow & brown as agents make metabolic changes to the bile.Green is a normal stool color that can infer things are moving through quickly.
