Changed to formula - poo very odd?
Have just stopped breastfeeding and LO has been on formula for a week. He is 9 months so also on 3 meals a day. Whereas his poo was fairly solid, and he went once or twice a day, this past week his poo is REVOLTING and plentiful. I am changing nappies 4 or 5 times a day at least, and it's explosive, loose and yellowy/green with white bits in it (almost like when he was purely BF as a newborn). Does he have a stomach upset? Or is this the adjustment to formula do you think? He is eating and drinking as normal and seems happy.
Thanks for any advice! x

Is it Aptamil he's on? If so then yes, "Korma poos" are part & parcel - nice!! x
No he's on SMA follow on - but yes, there is something curry-ish about his poo.... how lovely!
I would say that many is maybe a little too much though so if it continues maybe give gp a call x
I had exactly the same with my daughter when we switched from bfing to ff. I was very concerned as she was pooing anything up to 8 times a day. I ended up calling nhs direct however she was fine no other problems and her normal happy self. The poo reminded me of the newborn poo!
Eventually the pooing calmed down and settled into 2/3 times a day.
Is Sam his normal self otherwise? I would say its his little tummy adjusting to the change,you could always call nhs direct like i did they are very helpfull,as we can only offer advice on what we think.
Hope things get better soon : )

Thanks for your replies.xx
D went onto formula at about 6 weeks - if anything it went harder rather than looser.
I don't want to worry you but if it doesn't sort itself out might be worth either switching to the 1st stage milk which would be easier to digest, i would think, or having his tested for lactose intolerance / milk allergy. Does he have dairy products? I'm no expert, just a few suggestions K x
I have a sneeky feeling the next 2 teeth are on thier way as we are back to 3 korma nappies in the morning every day for the last 3 days and....so much I am surprised the nappies have held it all in!
Totally normal for us xxx
