Green Poo in an 8 month old

[kmh]

Just wondering if this is normal. Its a dark green ( tmi) poo, She has been having more frequently at the moment.

[Baby~amore`]

what solids has she been eating ? or formula or anything with iron can make poo dark green

[Pandora]

Yep, I would have though iron is doing it?

Has she had any/different formula or some sort of high iron solids, or are you giving her any baby vitamins - Pentavite etc?

[kmh]

No not anything different, she is b/f, and I don't give her any vitamins.

[Pandora]

OK, if she is b/f, what about you? Have you been eating differently?
Otherwise if you can think of nothing to account for it (licorice is another thing that might do it) maybe get it checked out?

[kmh]

I have not eaten anything different, and i don't like licorice. I will bring it up when I see my MCHN on tuesday.
Thanks
