Green potty is normal. No need for treatment. All formulas are similar. Common causes include rapid digestion, iron-fortified formula, a "foremilk/hindmilk" imbalance in breastfed babies, or the mother's diet. As long as your baby is gaining weight and acting content, it is typically not a cause for concern.

Greetings
Green poop in mixed-fed babies is common and usually completely normal.It frequently occurs due to the iron content in Dexolac Stage 1.Rapid digestion and breast milk variation can also cause green stools.Dexolac is a reliable formula and does not need immediate switching.Check if the baby is active, feeding well, and gaining weight.Consult your pediatrician if there is fever, vomiting, or watery diarrhea
