It’s normal as long as there is yellow- mustard colour in it. I hope she is on exclusive breastfeeding. Sometimes mixing breastmilk and formula milk might lead to such alterations. Don’t give Cow’s milk.
Health Tips
If the stools become white/clay/greyish persistently should go for consultation and blood tests.
Otherwise just click pictures and mention it to your consulting paediatrician on the next routine visit.
