Just give breast feeds.that is very good .It is beneficial to baby, develop emotional comfort. Even later in life prevents many diseases like obesity, DM, HBP. and many more diseases. On breast feeds stool passing will become normal. It is usually semisolid golden brown color. All problems will be over.
Next Steps
Continue breast feeding, weaning only after 4-5 months if you are getting enough of breast feeds.

Breast milk is best. If you feel baby is not satisfied you can try formula.
Passing stools on alternate days is good. Don't worry. Sometimes babies don't pass upto 5-7 days.
As long as baby is not uncomfortable, taking feeds well and passing urine adequately, dont worry
