Is this poop consistency normal?
LO was constipated when he drank NAN opti pro. He did not poop for 3-4 days. So we change to enfamil pro A+. Now he poop once daily. Just wanna check if this poop consistency normal? Everyday is like this and hes on the same fm for 3 weeks ardy.
For formula-fed babies, the normal range is usually yellowish or tan-brown, with a pasty, peanut butter-like consistency, so as long as it looks something like that and your LO is pooping once a day comfortably, that actually sounds quite reassuring compared to the 3-4 day stretch on NAN. Formula does take longer to digest than breastmilk, so the poop will naturally be a bit firmer, but the key thing to watch is whether he seems to be straining a lot or the stool looks very hard and pellet-like, which would be a sign something is off. The Enfamil switch seems to have helped, and three weeks of consistent daily output is a decent sign that his gut is settling, though if you are ever unsure about the colour or texture, it is always worth a quick check with your PD just to be sure.
