Could Green Colored Stool Of A 2 Month Baby Be Due To Formula Milk?

hi .
my baby is 2 months old n she takes lactogen infant formula 1 from day 1 as breast milk is not produced. she is breastfed to but only one or two times in a day. She is passing dark green colour stools from past 10-15 days which is after 1 n half month but her stool is not watery . she passes stool once in a day. what could be the reason due to cold as winters are going on or due to forluma milk.
