if baby is well , active , accepting feeds adequately , no large watery stools , no high fever , there is no blood in stool , passing urine every 3-4 hourly , there is no need to worry.colour of stool other than presence of blood is not significant.You need to worry if there is presence of blood or stools are large and watery .baby is dull or irritable , or passing less urine or having high fever.
