Hello,

Baby poo is different from adults. If you see that your baby is gaining weight, although with some little changes, then, you are doing the most correct thing.
Usually, we advise opting to soy formula milk designed for sensitive babies. You can try one. The hard and sticky stool is due to the components of formula milk (fat) and hard means baby is digesting the water from the milk. In other words, looks ok.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
