    So we have recently weaned from breastfeeding. We’ve been doing 50/50 for the past two months, but now they’re exclusively on Gentleease.

    My question is – why does their poop change color all the time? Sometimes it’s yellow, sometimes it’s green. I swear the other day it was almost grayish.

    Is this normal?

    perfectly normal. you don't want it to be black or small, hard pebbles. greenish, yellowish, and grayish are all healthy poops.

    Ditto on it being normal. Ours always had greeny, yellowy, different shades of brown! ;) Wait till they´re eating solids, you´ll really see a rainbow of colours then! :lol:

    Normal - in fact we just had a pediatrician visit our Mommy and Me class yesterday and she addressed this question...
    the only colors that alarm her are red, black and white - red means fresh blood, black means old blood and white means that no bile is working its way through and there is an obstruction or something else to cause concern... all the other colors in between are normal and it is just the different percentages of bile in the bowel movement as your baby processed what he eats.
