Ok, so one baby seems to have gooey white-mustardish poo. What do I do?

could be over feed, how old is the baby and what are you feeding it.

Very well could be overfeeding as SMS said. get instructions on feeding them. I know 5-7% of their body weight is what they are supposed to get. You're still on the GM formula awaiting FV correct?

from your other thread you said that they repeatedly eat more than 7% right?
So, it very well might be overfeeding.
Try to cut down on the amount of formula (don't let them go beyond 5-7% of their body weight) and see if it clears up.

Depending on how severe the poop is, you may have to just hydrate for one feeding (sort of flush the system) and then start formula but sticking to 5-7%.

Yes, I've started with cutting down. Is there anything else I should do?

Per Astra above "Depending on how severe the poop is, you may have to just hydrate for one feeding (sort of flush the system) and then start formula but sticking to 5-7%."

no, for now just cut down and see if poop clears.
If it doesn't, try hydrating for a feeding and then back to formula.

if the poop persists like that for several days even after you cut down on formula, it may have to be addressed differently
