Does my 6 week olds poop look normal? TW BABY POOP PICTURES

First of all I’m sorry for all the poop pictures.. I’ve been gathering them for the HV/GP, who I’m seeing on Tuesday. But I showed my other HV last week and she said they are a bit runny but nothing to be to concerned about but to mention it at the 6 week check up. I thought he had CMPA for the first few weeks of his life (straining, grunting, runny poos) but we switched to a non cows milk milk and it made him worse (dark green liquid poo, and extremely miserable) so he came off it and it was concluded he didn’t have an allergy. He seems to poop every other day, sometimes daily, and it’s quite liquidy. The first week or 2/3 they was mushy but they’re not as mushy anymore, more liquidy but not full on liquid. Thank you for any input! A first time mum here after 4 miscarriages and worrying about a lot of things!! He is formula fed, he was on Aldi mamia and now on cow and gate

Hello! Looks and sounds normal to me. Could have written this myself when my LO was tiny. Look very similar to his and they were normal, saw GP and HV about it. He is now 18m and never had any allergies, I did however lose some clothes to his blowouts 😂

Looks more on the liquidy side. My oldest had quite pastey firm poos from early on but my youngest had very liquidy poo until she started weaning and she's 15 months now and absolutely fine. Are they gaining weight? X

Hi, he was born 6.6lbs and at 5 weeks was 9.4lbs so gaining weight well x

looks normal to me. Around 7 weeks old my DS (formula fed) poo changed and went more runny and liquidy. did a stool test with GP just incase but wasn't actually a bad belly or anything, just a natural change in his poo. unfortunately they always stayed on the looser side, prone to daily poonamis if not changed immediately, until they firmed up when he started solid food.
