Two quick thoughts - sometimes green stools (hopefully very rarely) are "starvation stools" and an indication that the baby is starving. A quick google told me that has to do with liver bile. Of course we see green stools for other reasons as well. Has the baby been evaluated for a heart condition? A heart that is not working effectively can use up calories so there aren't enough left over for growing. Ellen Ellen J.
