There is no need for retesting.
Do not worried if the following criteria are fulfilled
1. Baby is accepting feeds well
2. Urine output adequate
3. No blood in stool
4. Absence of fever
Green stools is sometimes due to no giving hindmilk from the breast. Empty the breast before shifting to opposite breast for feeding.
Take care
Best regards
