My 5 week old baby has hard, grayish/green stools. Is this normal?

Hello Ma'am,

The appearance of stool in a young child changes a lot over time. Depending on his or her diet and various environmental factors (such as exposure to small viruses), the stool will take on different textures and colors.

In your case, if the stool you are describing has appeared for less than 5 days, I would wait a bit before worrying.

To help make the stool less hard, I would also recommend the few techniques described in the following article from Birth and Growth: https://naitreetgrandir.com/blogue/2019/11/07/question-reponse-medicaments-vente-libre/👈

Happy end of the day,
