New Dad, Baby Formula (my) Stool Smell Phenomenon Question

Ok so I've been trying to Google this "phenomenon", coming up blank, and I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar. I'm a new dad, currently in the postpartum, and I'm noticing my stool smells like my son's stool. In particular, the "formula'ish" odor it gives off. I'd like to note that this isn't a joke...no, I'm obviously not drinking the formula...and I'm asking this because this isn't the first time. Had the same experience when we had our daughter 3 years ago.

I know this is certainly psychological but I was wondering if anyone has experienced this before? To be clear, it still smells like normal stool but it has this very noticeable "baby formula" off odor to it.
