Does certain formula give babies diaherra?

I'm waiting on the doctor to call me back but wondering in the mean time . My daughter is mostly breastfed but takes formula occasionally and she has been since birth. She will be two months in a week. Her stools have been normal for being breastfed until a couple of days ago. She had 2 very runny diapers and it was dark yellow and almost on the verge of being green. But after that she had normal stools, but she did it again today, two times. Is it the formula or something I'm eating, which I'm not eating anything different than I usually eat? Oh, she takes the Enfamil Premium Lipil

    Breastfed babies get greenish (or orange, or yellow, or brown for that matter) stools occasionally and it's nothing to worry about (some books I've read say it's from getting more for-milk than hind-milk). Not sure about the formula if that would change the situation, but if she gets more breast milk than formula it's probably the same.

    Yes, if she's lactose intolerant. Are you or your husband lactose intolerant? My husband is and I had to switch my daughter from regular Enfamil to Enfamil ProSobee because she had very loose stools and it was causing a diaper rash.

    If the stools are foul smelling, it's more than likely the formula.
