Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM.
You not stop milk until you get the stool tested for reducing sugars.
Feeding powder milk usually Gives rise to dry solid stools which are difficult to pass.
I feel it is infective diarrhea.
Better consult a pediatrician and give correct treatment .
Stools will not become semi solid or liquid until you stop formula milk.
Encourage breast feeding always.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose.
Please feel free to ask me any more queries.
