After switching to formula, my baby's poop color and thickness changed. What does normal poop look like for a formula-fed baby?

Formula-fed babies usually have darker, thicker, and more noticeably smelly poop than breastfed babies. The color can range from a cheesy tan to brown or even slightly greenish — that whole range is normal. The consistency is usually like peanut butter or thick yogurt. The smell is more obvious than breastfed baby poop.
Watery or diarrhea-like poop isn't typical for formula-fed babies. If you see blood, slimy bits, or white or gray-colored poop, talk to your pediatrician. Otherwise, poop color changes after starting formula are a normal part of growing up.
