Why does my baby have green poo?

[snowbear]

Hi
My total breastfed baby suddenly started pooing green poo yday.

What could the problem be?

I seem to remember it may have to do with taking in too much lactose, possibly due to too much foremilk instead of hind milk. But occasional green poo is ok. Prob if it lasts for more than two days you may want to check with paed.

My 6month old DS pooing green everyday for around 3 days. I am giving similac- stage 2 for my baby for about 2 weeks.
anyone know what is the reason?????????
Help please....

She's pooing normally today already!

Briskcross, I read up on the fore/hindmilk issue. thanks. I guess my oversupply may have caused the green poo but I'm in the midst of getting it adjusted to her needs.
