Differences in Poo When Your Baby is on Breast Milk, Formula Milk or Combination of Both

*1 When there is gas that stays in the tummy for a long period of time, the poo will turn green due to oxidation.
*2 Formula milk tends to stay longer in the intestine compared to breast milk. As a result, the poo may have a brownish tinge from an early stage.
*3 The unique sour odour is caused by the formation of milk acid when the milk whey ferments in the intestine.
*4 Watery poo is characteristic of breastfed babies. Although the poo may appear wet, it is not diarrhoea.
*5 The grainy texture comes from the solidified fats and calcium. Termed as "granular stool", grainy-textured poo is common and normal for babies at this stage of growth.
