Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

My 4-month-old baby passes watery, grayish-green colored poop three to four times daily for the past two days. Usually, he passes poop only once in every two hours.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It is normal for the babies to pass stools up to ten times a day after feeding. Color can be anything except red, indicating blood streaks. Continue breastfeeding as usual. Do not worry unless your baby becomes dull, takes feeds appropriately, and has normal urination.
