Green poo in 4 month old

DD (ebf) has had green poo for a week now. She is DC3 and i’ve BF both times before. She was teething last week and I know this can cause green poo, but i’ve only ever seen the odd one or two in my previous DC.
She is not dehydrated, is putting on weight (I think, she looks bigger!) and is sleeping well and not fussy. She doesnt feed as often as i’d expect but she does empty one boob each feed, and gets offered the other.
Any ideas? BF clinic is Thursday but i’m wondering if I should go to the GP.

Occasional green poo isn’t anything to worry about, it’s normal.

My mainly breastfed babies have all had green poos when they have had a cold/teething/tummy problems.

If that's the only symptom I wouldn't worry unless it persisted for quite a while i.e more than a week

It has been just over a week. I’m not normally a worrier, this just seems weird.
