Green poop alone is not necessarily a problem. He could have a virus, a reaction, or change in normal bacteria in colon.

Many of the formulas produce a poop that is dark green. The best food for your infant is human breastmilk. If that is not available, then infant formula is the next best option. There are many different types of infant formula. Speak to your pediatrician if you believe your formula is not suiting your baby.
