Thank you for your query
Passing sticky yellowish green stools in a exclusive breast fed 4 month old baby is usually normal and nothing to worry about
My suggestion is
1. Continue exclusive breast feeding
2. You should avoid spicy foods and reduce cow’s milk consumption
3. Take lots of fluids
4. Take fresh juices and vegetable soups
Next Steps
Consult your Pediatrician if your baby has other symptoms like fever or poor feeding
