    Based on the assessment of the newborn, it can be inferred that the newborn was fed with formula milk. Also, the baby demonstrates gastrointestinal functioning. Newborns experience a change in stool color and odor in the days after they were born. This indicates proper gastrointestinal functioning. The yellow color of the stool is due to the breakdown of bilirubin.
