No. Quite normal. Both my kids had green poo at a certain time frame (by memory around 4 weeks to 4 months. I think breastfeeding ones usually do for a while too. Mine were on Nan(In hospital), aptamil and A2M now.

My second child I went straight to formula. The new current nursing guildlines being taught is only first few feeds by breast is needed (Colostrum). Therefore most hospitals now in Australia have changed their stance and readily just give you the consent form for you to sign if you request so they are allowed to give formula to your baby. Before you had to beg,plead and scream for it before they let you have formula. I was flabbergasted and had actually snuck formula into the hospital.
Beef. are you in China or Australia?

Green poo

If you're breastfeeding, the occasional green poo is nothing to worry about. But if your baby is consistently doing explosive green poos, it may be because he's feeding too fast. When a fast flow of milk hits his empty tummy, it can create air bubbles, leading to poor digestion.

Try laid-back breastfeeding. This is a relaxing, comfortable position for your baby, and it also helps to stem the flow of your milk if you have a fast, powerful let-down.

If you are feeding your baby formula milk, the brand you are using could be turning your baby's poo dark green. It may be worth switching to a different formula to see if that has any effect.

If the symptoms last longer than 24 hours, visit your health visitor or GP. The cause may be:

• a food sensitivity
• side-effects of medication
• your baby's feeding routine
• a stomach bug
