That is normal when they are formula feed. My dd was yellow ans eedy looking because she was breastfeed, when we would supplement with formula it would be green.

Good Start= dark green and very stinky poo
Enfamil= lighter green/yellow not as stinky
Similac= dark poo, still not as stinky as Good Start

I use Similac, and I can't imagine the Poo getting any stinkier! :p But it is dark green, and always has been. The Doctor told me that as long as he continues eating well and gaining weight, everything should be fine. Good luck, and don't worry.

we tried Nestle Good Start with my DD for a while and her poo turned green, her doctor told us that green poo is totally normal for Nestle Good Start. We have since switched to Enfamil for other reasons and she has a yellowish color now. Don't worry,

DS was on pregistimil -- a predigested formula for a week or so. Nasty stuff. Anyway, his poo was grass green. Looked like he ate grass and asked the doctor -- does that look NORMAL to you. He said, yep, good old pregestimil poo. Switched to infamil shortly after and it was more yellow, smelled kinda like feta cheese.
Time to worry is if the poo is always greasy, smells really bad, really runny and your child is losing weight -- that can be a sign of something not quite right with the digestive tract.

It is the iron that is making it green. I take iron too and mine is always green. Don't worry!
