Yakko has green diarrhea.He has 2 siblings that do NOT have diarrhea. He is 7-8 weeks old. He has been eating Esbilac with probiotics since he was less than 1 week. No issues ever. Last week I started introducing solid foods. He gets one high protein Henry's block per day. Broccoli, dandelion greens, and have given carrots a couple times. I also gave them somesmall mulberry branches to chew on
They are still primarily eating formula. They are doing 3-4 feedings per day. He started with a runny stool last night. Still an issue this morning. He is eating and playing as normal. Should I discontinue any of these items or all for him? I have pedialite on hand in case it is necessary. Thank you.

Has he taken more formula recently? He could be reacting to something new that he ate. Maybe try eliminating the item you introduced prior to the diarrhea. In the meantime you can try adding some baby rice cereal or banana baby food (or mashed banana) to his diet and see if it will help firm it up. Also one drop of pepto bismal may be given. Extra hydration between feedings will help with dehydration. Pedialyte should not be given for more than 24 hours.

Hi I was just thinking of giving my two some mulberry leaves and branches and when doing a quick search on google found that the unripe berries and sap cause stomach upset and hallucinations. You might want to stop giving them the branches
