Warm reminder: The stool of a baby who eats formula is light yellow or yellow-brown. Compared with the stool of a baby who eats breast milk, the residue of formula milk will make the baby's stool look larger because formula milk cannot be completely digested like breast milk. In addition, the stool of a baby who eats formula milk also smells worse, more like adult stool. Babies who eat formula milk usually need to defecate at least once a day to feel comfortable. The longer they go without a bowel movement, the harder the stool will be and the more difficult it will be to pass, which will cause constipation.
