Its male or female? Baby is on Any medication? If yes pls send pics. Mostly in female or baby who is taking some iron supplements they have some discoloration in stool. Otherwise this is not serious issue if it is not repeating. Just watch on stool daily for 2 more days and let me know what changes u observed. Now no need to worry. It is ok.
