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?

My grandbaby's stools are nasty -- pasty, hard to remove, green (like the
algae from which the DHA is made), and quite stinky.  (Please,  everyone, no
flames about my grandbaby being bottlefed and if ONLY I had done  thus and so he
would be breastfeeding by now....in one form or another, I've  heard it all)

I've encouraged my daughter to switch to non-DHA formula so that perhaps  his
stools would become more normal.  Interesting to hear that your niece's
stools are normal and almost resemble breastmilk stools.  I wonder if the
difference is the Similac Advance vs. the Enfamil Lipil (which Deven is  getting.

What have others seen?

some other shoes.
