Hi,
This depends on why the test was ordered, which you have not mentioned. This may suggest bowel infection or milk protein allergy. The former should respond to antibiotics, but stool findings may take few more days to settle. If baby is fine, we can wait.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
