Maybe: Not familiar with formulae you offered. Stool color changes with changes in formula or breast feeds. Chemicals in stool called biliverdin give the stool greenish color which is normal.

Green poo: The poo is colored by bile added during digestion.It starts out dark green and transitions through yellows to brown over time.Green poo just means the material is moving through faster. If the kid seems to be better on the comfort, stay with it.
