My baby's poop is green, should I be worried?

⚡ Short answer: Green poop is usually harmless (iron supplements, foremilk-hindmilk imbalance, fast transit); consult a doctor if it's watery diarrhea, contains blood/mucus, or baby has fever.

My baby's poop has been green for a few days. Is this something I should worry about?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Your baby's green-colored poop is usually nothing to worry about. At 5 months, green poop typically comes from: iron supplementation if you're using it, a foremilk-hindmilk imbalance (if breastfed, baby fills up on foremilk before getting the richer hindmilk), or faster bowel transit.

However, contact your pediatrician if: the poop is constantly watery (diarrhea), it contains mucus or blood, your baby has a fever, or other signs like fussiness, vomiting, or poor weight gain.

How is your baby otherwise? Is she active and cheerful, or fussy?
