Should be seen: You are not describing normal stool for either a formula fed or breast fed baby. Most solid foods at this point would still be in puree form so that would not explain either. Should consider if he put something in his mouth that may be the cause. Make apt to be seen and bring in sample or very good picture of the stool.
