My Ds was 5 weeks yesterday, I was breastfeeding initially but have been formula feeding him for 2 weeks now. His poos have been of a thick pastey consistency and greeney/yellow since being on formula and he does strain to pass them. He had had a poo when I gave him his feed at 3ish which is quite unusual cos he usually goes in the morning (8ish) so I changed him before sorting his bottle, then while I was still feeding him he went again, this time the consistency was alot looser and yellow, I changed him again and then before the end of his bottle he went again which was again yellow and loose. He went straight off to sleep after another nappy change and when he woke this morning his nappy was just wet. He has had one more poo like this today at 11.30ish and some pretty smelly trumps (he does trump alot normally though but they don't smell like they have today) we've been giving him Infacol for the last week or so and upped the dose to 2 pippettes yesterday, could it be this? Any advice would be greatfully received. Thanks for reading. Nic x

hi nic and welcome iwould think all this is just his body adjusting to the formula milk instead of breast milk.

Hi loopylou6! Thanks for the quick reply, I was a little concerned because his poos have been so firm for 2 weeks and now had become runny but you are probably right. Thanks again.
