Stacey it's not uncommon to see loose stools in new kids. Think of it as kind of a adjustment period. With EVO you'll typically see looser stools than you would with say TF. That's because it doesn't have rice in it which is what food manufactures use to bind food together, digest easier and make for firmer poops. It doesn't mean it's good for them though. As long as he's drinking and staying hydrated let his body adjust to the better food. He'll thank you for it later :)
