The change in color and consistency of your breastfed baby's stool is likely due to him fighting off a small intestinal virus. As long as he is not running a fever and is feeding well, it is not a cause for concern. These symptoms typically last up to a week. If the situation worsens, such as the appearance of a fever or a significant decrease in feeding, or if the abnormal stools persist after a week, it would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional.
