David. 
Ain't this just the best OT thread ever......

Anyway.... Apparently changing stool colour can occur for a number of
reasons. And it very much depends on how (or what) your babies feeding on at
the moment. Rushing baby on to solids may NOT be best idea since 4 months
would be the early side (but not necessarily too early). 

If on formula - it could be that it's time for the next formula (step up)
which has a different ratio of casein to whey. OR it could be that the
foremilk/hind milk balance is not quite right. 

Or any number of things ... here's a rather helpful article

Oh and to bring it On topic - the ILUG tux logo has green on it ... but
doesn't smell !
