Baby 6 weeks old. poo is firm and a mixture of yellow and green. formula fed. is this normal? should i be concerned? started looking this way for 3 days now ...

Should not be firm: Babies older than a week should have yellowish poops with the thickness of mustard or thick spaghetti sauce. Breastfeeding babies can have even looser poops. Formula-fed babies have firmer poops, but poop that holds shape would be too firm for the first 3-4 months of life. Poop gets darker, with brown/green colors blended in, and also gets firmer, as a baby gets older.
