Green stools in infant
My Baby 2 months old is having green stools since 5 days. Earlier it was yellow watery foamy and foul smelling. Now it is green in color and very foamy. Today we took stool analysis test mucus found and no bacterial growth. What could be the reason for this? My pediatrician told fore milk won't cause this much pf loose and green stools. Also he leaks stools since his birth , is there any way to stop this. Can viral infection cause green stools , if so how can we identify it ? I'm worried is this serious. His urine count is around 10. No fever.

At 2 months it is very normal for changes in consistency and colour of stool. No need for any investigations. And babies are bound to pass stool soon after feeds also
Next Steps
Make sure mother is having plenty of fluids and fibers in her diet and continue breastfeeding
