I'm in a bit of a pickleI need to take a break from work for about three weeks next month. The issue is, it's for exam prep, but I can't really tell my boss that. I'm kind of stuck because I need a medical certificate for this leave. Is there a legit way to get a medical certificate for this kind of situation? I'm feeling pretty stressed about it. Would love some advice!

Greenish stools can be normal in breastfed babies, but in formula-fed babies, it might indicate a change in gut bacteria or a reaction to the formula. Possible reasons for greenish stools include:

1. Introduction of a new food or formula: This can alter the gut microbiome, leading to changes in stool color.
2. Foremilk-hindmilk imbalance: If the baby is not getting enough hindmilk (rich in fat), it can cause greenish stools.
3. Gastrointestinal infection: Although less common, a viral or bacterial infection can cause changes in stool color.

Changing Formula

Before switching formulas, consider consulting your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues. They can help determine if a formula change is necessary.

If you do switch to Nan Pro, monitor your baby's stool color, consistency, and overall health. Some babies may take time to adjust to a new formula.
