When the baby is born, he will excrete some dark green stools. This shit is the meconium of a baby. It looks scary, but it has no taste. It's sticky and its color is close to dark green. Meconium is mainly composed of amniotic fluid swallowed by the fetus and secretions discharged by the fetus, and is usually excreted about 6- 12 hours after the baby is born.
After the fetus is discharged, it will transition like normal stool. During the transition period, the stool will gradually become shallow from dark green and then turn yellow-green.

4. Green stool
Green stools are also common, especially for some exclusively breast-fed babies. The main reason is that breast milk is easy to digest and it is not easy to form breast flaps. Baby's gastrointestinal development is not perfect, nutrition can not be fully absorbed, and it is easy to form green stool.
Overfeeding, diarrhea, excessive iron intake, and even eating vegetables with dark green leaves may lead to green stools.
5. Red stool
Red stool is not very common, and it often appears after the baby adds complementary food. For example, babies eat foods containing a lot of anthocyanins and lycopene, such as red dragonflies, tomatoes and watermelons. These pigments will dye the baby's stool red, which will lead to the appearance of red stool. But don't worry, this shit doesn't do any harm to the baby. Stop eating red food and your stool will soon return to normal.
If there is blood in the stool, but the blood is not superficial, but mixed in the stool, it is likely to be caused by gastrointestinal bleeding, so it must be checked in time.

Gray feces is the least common and the most dangerous. If the baby has a white or gray stool, it generally means that the baby has an infarction in the biliary tract. Jaundice will appear about 2-3 weeks after the baby is born, and the stool color is white or grayish white.
