What Causes Difficulty In Defecation?

My breast-fed baby is nearly 6 months and has started solid food for the past 10 days. For the past few days she's been grizzly and grunts to push out stools. Some of these stools are "solid" and vary in colour as to what she's been eating. What worries me is that at least once a day she has mustard colour stools that are quite loose with mucus, a few streaks of green and white lumps. Can you tell me if this is something to worry about?

Hello,

If the baby is gaining weight and height normally, and attaining all the developmental milestones normally, you need not worry about it, please.
