Undigested formula in poo

[chele]

Max was always regular but for the past week or so he seems to be going a lot longer between poos (2-3 days), it's more of a green colour and contains a lot of undigested milk (I presume that's what it is)

It's like his digestive transit has slowed down. I'm not doing anything different.

Is it normal to have undigest compacted formula in poo and for it to happen all the time.

I am not sure what you mean, but if you mean the poo has bits in it like peanuts or oaty bits (??) then Annas is like that all the time - I am assuming thats normal.

Yeah it's like little bits of milk that are like a sesame seed size

I'm pretty sure this is normal - Louie has this pretty much every poo. I always wonder where he's been getting his solid food from!! It's because formula has so much waste in it that isn't digested it looks like loads coming out. Remember their little systems are constantly maturing so their poo changes all the time. Mention it at your next HV check tho if you're worried x

The seedy consistency is normal. As is the change in the frequency of poos. They do get green sometimes on formula but usually go back to the more normal yellow colour. Has your baby had its jabs recently?

Hannah always had green/yellow seedy poops. My pediatrician told me both were normal for a FF baby (the iron in the formula causes the green poos)

Yep he had his jabs a week ago and seems to be worse since them

Evie's has seedy poos too lol!
Before I gave birth to her, I was told that only BF babies get seedy poos so I was kinda shocked to see seeds still in there when I switched to FF.

Carmen has a poo every other day and beginning of her poo is green and it ends with yellow mustardy colour. I allways considered it normal.

The seedy texture is normal, but less obvious with a yellow background! Green colour isn't usually a problem - usually it's a sign that they are slightly off-colour (excuse the pun!) - and if he's just had his jabs that would explain it. If he was coming down with a cold or something that might make it greener too.

It should settle down in a few days.
