1 year old baby green poop — I'm very confused about this, what should I do?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Green poop in 1 year old babies is usually no cause for worry. Most of the time there's a simple reason: spinach, broccoli or other green vegetables, iron supplements, or formula enriched with iron can turn poop green. Sometimes rapid digestion (diarrhea-like stool) also causes a greenish tint.

When to see a doctor:

  • Blood or mucus in the stool
  • Your baby seems uncomfortable, feverish, or generally unwell
  • Diarrhea goes along with it and lasts more than 2-3 days

If none of these apply, green poop alone is considered normal. Think back to what your baby ate in the last 24 hours — you'll probably find the reason there. If it still worries you, don't hesitate to ask your pediatrician.
