Hello,
Until stool examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.
It may lactose intolerance or malabsorption or food intolerance etc..
If you think a problem with powder milk then change to packet milk and see.
Get it done stool fat level, pH and reducing capacity.
Consult your pediatrician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
