I don't know if anyone else has put this idea forth yet, but I had a mom with a baby with consistently green stools that lasted for weeks. We ruled out foremilk hindmilk problem; eliminated dairy and were stymied, until she mentioned she was almost out of her prenatal vitamins. These were high in iron. Within 2 days after stopping the added iron and just going to a normal vitamin/mineral tab., the stools were golden yellow. They stayed that way from then on. Cheryl Muller RNC IBCLC Subject: green stools Regarding the green stools: As an anecdote, my third child had green stools until I eliminated dairy from my diet. If I had something with a little too much milk, the green stools returned. He also had a problem with cow's milk in his own diet once he was weaned (at age 4).
