Included in this link is a section called "Wondering about baby poop? (yes, everyone does!)" it includes loads of links about bowel movements (colors, smells, frequency, everything). This should answer any question you may have. Also formula definitely will do it. It can be harsh on a breastfed babies system. It is a total different digestion process. Congratulations on breastfeeding you are doing an amazing thing for your precious one. Good luck and keep up the good work!
