Because of a severe illness and multiple medications my youngest sister is
unable to breastfeed and is using Similac.  I have been helping to care for her
newborn baby girl and have been surprised at how soft, yellow and squirty the
baby's stools are.  While I am sad that she is not getting breastmilk, she is
growing and thriving.  She does not have diarrhea, but the stools look very
much like breastmilk stools!
Have others seen this?
