Our baby is 13weeks old & we have just had a poo that was pasty & military green afta 4days of none.new to formula.cottonbud in butt start poo.normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pasty green ok: Pasty poo is fine. Military green poo is fine. It's not unusual to have some change in pattern with switching to formula. As long as babies stool is soft and his abdomen is not distended and he is feeding well, this situation is fine. To clarify, "pasty" is within the realm of soft for baby poops! Enjoy your baby!
