Hello doctor! My baby is only 3 months old, I give him formula milk and breast milk. I have the following questions I hope you can help me with. Baby has a bowel movement once a week, and usually he has yellow stools, but this time he has green stools with mucus. So is the baby okay? Hope the doctor can help me, thank you!

Hello! It is not normal for babies to drink formula milk and have a bowel movement only once a week. It may be because the mother's diet or the baby's digestive system is not good. This long-term condition directly affects the health and comprehensive development of children, leading to growth retardation, stunting, malnutrition, abdominal distension, flatulence, dyspepsia, vomiting. Usually, your baby's poop will be bright yellow or golden brown. If your baby's poop turns green, it's likely that your baby is absorbing too much lactose in milk.
However, in order to get the most accurate diagnosis, you should take your child to a reputable medical facility or the Pediatric Department - a hospital under the Vinmec Health System across the country for a doctor to check and give treatment directions. Fit.
