Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I understand your concerns but don't worry. Infants are prone to wide variation in frequency, consistency and colour of poops. I appreciate that you have kept your baby on exclusive breastfeeding. So the chances of infective diarrhea is not likely.
So, continue with regular feeds and no other treatment is required.
Take care
