Greenish mucus poop in baby stool
My son is 4 months old and exclusively breastfed.since he was 9 weeks he used to poop(yellow and seedy) once or twice in a day.From past 3 weeks he is passing motions 7-8 times a day,which is mostly green in color and sometimes yellow,it has mucus and tiny spots of blood and also it is frothy.despite all these, baby is very active and urine output is good. Since a month his weight gain is 500grams (he used to put on 1kg every month since birth). Please suggest whether this change is Because of any infection and he need to be taken to doctor. His current weight is 6.3 KG. Have attached a pic of his poop. Please suggest how to proceed further.

Hello
His stool contains blood streaks, may be a infection. 4 months and weight 6.3 kg is good. As he is playful/active no need to worry but you have to consult a pediatrician near by for further evaluation. Physical examination is best than online consultation.

Any stomach upset at any age is primarily due to ingested dirt or bacteria.
Give feeds at a gap of atleast 3 hours,avoid top milk or anything else by mouth,maintain strict hygiene in giving feeds.
Add Enterogermina vial half vial twice a day for 5 days.
If not improving in 3 days OR accompanied by other symptoms like vomiting or abdominal distension or dullness and refusal to feed or fever,consult your paediatrician.
