No cause for concern
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
There is no cause for concern for altered stools.
It could be due to diet alteration.
If the stool frequency is normal, no alteration in consistency and child is accepting feeds well then there is no cause for concern.
In case you require any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care
