Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the query.
Normal baby stool colors include light tan to dark brown and pale yellow to dark green, depending on whether the baby is breast or formula fed, it also depends on transit time of food in the stomach and its contact with bile.
Transluscent thing might be some food particle or worm, i would suggest you to go for stool examination.
Hope i helped you.
