Yes - poop colour commonly changes with solids and reflects what the baby eats (ragi can look grainy/sandy and green); teething can also cause green stools. The one warning sign is red blood, which needs a doctor.
⚠️ Caution:Green stool is generally harmless, but if you see red blood in the stool, consult a doctor immediately.
Parents get alarmed seeing green or grainy poop after starting solids or ragi. The community reassures that this simply reflects the new foods and is normal, while flagging red blood as the one sign that warrants a doctor.
Here's what moms in our community shared based on their own experience.
Yes, it happens - poop colour varies after starting solids and is normal. Some babies also pass green stools while teething. Don't worry.
Green and grainy 'sandy' stool after ragi is normal - it looks almost like ragi powder and is easy to recognise.
Small babies have green potty, and whatever the baby eats shows in the potty. The only concern is red blood in it - then see the doctor immediately.
Spinach can also make poop green and slightly more frequent, but nothing else happens and it settles.
