Brief Answer:
Due to undigested formula feeds

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Let me emphasize on the fact that breast milk is the best possible milk for a baby and there can be no alternatives for the same. Most formula milks are cow milk based and hence difficult to digest. Moreover they make the child more prone to complications and infections. Mother's breast milk is produced on the demand of the baby. Hungrier the baby, more vigorous is the suck. More is the suck, more is the amount of breast milk produced. Giving formula automatically reduces the demand of the baby and thereby the production of breast milk. All you need to do is to switch back to exclusive breast feeding and the production will increase automatically. All you need to do is to monitor the urine output. If the frequency is more than 6 times in 24 hours, you would know that the amount of feeding is adequate. If the amount of passage of urine is less or if the child is lethargic you would need to take the child to a doctor without delay.

For a baby of this age, it is normal to pass stool several times a day or even after each feed. Alternatively the child may pass stool once in 10 days and that is normal too. Unless the stool is hard and pellet like, you need not grow concerned. The color of stool may vary and the grayish color seems to be due to undigested formula milk. Try to switch back to mother's milk and that should take care of the issue.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back and for confirming. Most formula milks are cow milk based and therefore hard to digest. But other than mother's milk there is hardly any option. Therefore you need not worry about it. Let it just be like that and so long as urine is adequate, you need not get bothered.
