[|Human|] Hi I have  4 month old breastfed son who only has a BM once a week. When he does finally have one it really smelly and and dark green in color. My pediatrican say it is normal for him. Does that sound right to you? It really bothers me but maybe that is just how his system works. Should I give him a laxative?
[|AI|]  Let me assure you that breast milk is the best feed for the baby and with it the baby with not get an infection. Green stool occurs due to rapid transit through the large intestine and is absolutely normal in breastfed babies, and you need not worry about it. I would simply acknowledge what your pediatrician has said. No laxative or medicine required. No need to give anything other than breast milk, not even water up to 6 months of age.
