Baby with green poop - normal?

Baby Poop - Freaking out a little bit 🙄 the last couple of poos my baby has had have had brown streaks and seedy (sorry for the TMI) in amongst her usual thick green sludge poo (again, sorry). So I've looked online to see what that means and it seems the brown and seeds is perfectly normal but the green is something alarming. Well, she's been pooping green poos for 4 weeks now, since I switched to formula. So now I'm freaking out that I've been posioning her without realising, even though she seems okay 😭 she's 6 weeks old and on SMA Comfort...any ideas, is this normal or not?

All 3 of mine have been formula fed and had lots of green poos, seeded and non seeded! 🤢 if you're worried though speak to your health visitor.

Mine were both breastfed and had the odd green poo - I was told that the odd green one is nothing to worry about but if all of them are green they might not be getting enough milk.

I don't know if the same applies to formula fed babies. I don't think it's anything to panic about but might be worth a call to the health visitor.

Mine had green poo, like a paste! I was told it was normal.

I switched formulas and my los changed to green but it was foul and I don't know if it was right as it was only a temporary switch. I'd imagine it's all digestion processing new formula. Defo speak to hv

Normal - if you breastfeed it's caused by sugar in your diet (I craved cream cake when dd was born)
