Greenish poop for 5.5 month baby
My 5.5 months old son is pooping 6-7 times a day in small amounts. 1 month back he used to poop 2-3 times a day in large amount.The poop is slightly greenish in colour and semi-liquid. However he does not show any sign of discomfort unless he is hungry . He is quite active and sleeps well too. He is on exclusive breast feeding and weighs around 8.2kgs.Is there anything to be concerned ?

Did you give anything else other than breast feed
Colour of the poop is of little concern
Did you change your diet
Please give him Enterogermina ampoules half ampoules morning and half ampoules in the evening for 3 days .

Need not worry absolutely.
Stool colour where u need to worry
1) Black coloured stools
2) Pale coloured stools
3) Stool which contains blood
And with respect to passing stool 5 to 6 times , it's normal for a 5 month old baby.
Next Steps
Give exclusive breastfeeding
