Hi - my baby just turned 4 months and for the past 2 weeks we have noticed that his poo is very green (dark green but not black). it used to be yellow. we havent changed his formula and he is currently drinking s26-gold. should we be concerned?

No: Your poop is colored by the ultra green bile added in transit. Is it transit it will undergo changes to lighter green, then through yellows before going to brown in response to gut germ metabolism as they feed on the debris. Green just means it moved through before the change. It has no importance.
