Re: greenish stoolsSome formula feed have too much iron which can change stool colour to greenish black - check that first by comparing different formula milks

Re: greenish stools
All concerned
If a child is with green stools then always look after tonslitis, lyringhits. It is a tip that in majority of cases greenish stools specially with too offensive bad smell( not present when child was passing norma stools)is an indication of upper respiratory tract infectin.
