Not Much: Not much if he is healthy, happy and growing..The color is how he digests what he is eating.

He's normal: 3 month old infants frequently have greenish yellow stools. Breast fed infants have yellow seedy stools. If there is lots of mucous or blood in the stools, that's when we worry about milk protein allergy.

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.
