Need not worry ma..
Greenish or clay coloured stools is common in formula fed babies..if it bothers u so much you can take medicines to increase ur breastmilk secreations..
That would be a better option for your baby ..

Just wait & watch for few days
If stool color still persistent then need to do liver function test & ultrasound abdomen
