A member asked:
My 7 week old breastfed baby passed a dark green stool. he has been fussing at the breast and vomiting after feeds. help! what is wrong with him?

Nothing important: The stool color is created by ultra-green bile added to it during processing. It will undergo changes through a range of greens to yellow & then browns as gut bacteria digest/metabolize nutrients in the poop. Green only means it moved through faster before germs could change it. It does not define an illness. He may or may not be reacting to something you ate.
