hi

4 weeks old baby with yellow stool is ok . the white lumps probably undigested milk.

it is possible that the milk is concentrated too much . the baby digestive enzymes are not well developed to digest fully the formula milk.

you can give him this formula in more diluted form ,and give more frequently .

after every feed keep him upright alongside of your shoulder and burp him to get release of gases/air from stomach . this will help to have minimum tommy aches and colics and vomiting.

Hopefully this might help you . If your baby not getting well inspite of all this or the symptoms aggravate , then better to consult a paediatrician as soon as possible.
thank you
