Hard Green Poop!

My son did the same thing, the nurses had told when he was born to call if he had green poop because it could indicate digestive problems but when I did they said that it doesn't mean anything unless there's a particularly foul odor and/or his stomach is painful to touch. Every time I changed something in his diet his poop would change for while too.

I think that nurses need to either be more specific about what you should be looking for or not warn you about the green poop thing at all.

Green poop is probably from the bananas. Watch out as blueberries can cause a discoloration as well. If she is pooping and seems fine I wouldn't worry too much about it, it can be what is in your diet as well.

Anytime my daughter started a new food/new texture/real table foods, etc her stool changed color and texture. I would say that it is normal. If it were upsetting her tummy, you may notice some diarrhea? And that could be linked to an allergy if it lasts a long time. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Side note~When we moved out here my daughter was 8 months old. It took 3 days to drive out for the move. She just started eating a new baby food. She hadn't gone #2 for 2 days and then....splat! We heard an explosion in the back seat. She finally went to the bathroom. And it went EVERYWHERE! So please keep an extra shirt for you/ extra carseat cover/ outfit for baby in the car when they are at this stage...you never know when you are going to need it!

Hi! I just took my 4 month old to her check-up appointment and I asked my doctor about her poop being green sometimes. He told me that when it is green it just means that it is passed through her more quickly than others. Now, I am still nursing and we haven't started solids yet, but it I just wanted to share since it could be a similar situation. Hope it helps.
