Poop Color

This is kinda dumb, but my son is 12 weeks old and just the last week or two his poop has changed colors from mustardy, yellow, light green mix to a really dark, spinach green color. Is that normal?

Zack 2 months had that problem too. I panicked and called the nurse. Was told this is normal and should only get worried if I see blood in it. I saved the poopy diaper and digged in to check for blood *LOL*. I did some searching and found this website - http://www.drjaygordon.com/pediatricks/poop.htm. Hope this helps!

My baby is formula fed. The article Zack's mom recommended said that the iron fortified formulas can cause their color to be real dark. I'm a__suming that has something to do with it.
