Food may be moving through the large intestine too quickly, such as due to diarrhea. As a result, bile doesn't have time to break down completely. Green leafy vegetables, green food coloring, such as in flavored drink mixes or ice pops, iron supplements. A lack of bile in stool.

As long as there's no blood in stools OR it's tarry black,relax!!
At this age,you need to give 3 solid meals a day including curd and Banana in the diet in addition to whatever you prepare at home and 3 milk feeds including one top milk feed using a spoon and katori and rest breastfeedings.
If stools are soft and formed,do nothing.
If loose,add Enterogermina vial half vial twice a day for 3-5 days.
