Brief Answer:
It could be due to iron

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It seems that the baby is not digesting iron in formula. Try cow's milk for sometime as its low in iron.

Hope this helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
