The simple and obvious explanation for this, foods can not process properly when dehydrated.
The green you are seeing is bile, it is a yellow-green fluid that helps digest fats. When food is
moving through the large intestine too quickly bile doesn't have time to break down completely.
Diarrhea aids in dehydration, this is the importance of hydrating in between normal feedings to
get the baby fully hydrated and stable.
