Anyone else giving their baby a vitamin supplement notice a change in poop color? My ped gave us poly vita sol that has vitamin d as well as other vitamins and iron and her poop has been a dark green color lately.

    Mine was a dark green when I was on iron supplements during my pregnancy for anemia. I would imagine it could do the same to a baby.

    My baby is formula fed and her poop is always dark green. I mentioned it to her doctor after reading posts that it could be bad and he just said it means her gallbladder is working. I would still as your doctor about it if you want some re assurance!

    When there's iron, there's green poop! If the vitamin is the only new addition, it is very likely the iron in it :)
