A single orange or pink tinged stain in a wet diaper usually comes from concentrated urine, something urate crystals cause, and it normally settles once feeding picks up. At 37 days this is a bit later than when it's most common, but it's not alarming on its own, especially since you only moved fully to breastfeeding three days ago and he's still settling into the new pattern.
Next Steps
Track his wet diapers over the next day or two and aim for six or more, and check his weight gain at his next pediatrician visit to confirm the feed is enough.
Health Tips
See a pediatrician the same day if he seems unusually sleepy, feeds poorly, or you notice any blood in the diaper.
