Hello thank you for your query. As a breastfeeding specialist sometimes a mother diet has an affect in the color of her milk. You may have eaten something dark green or black that has passed to your milk an then to your baby leaving his stools with this color. If you baby has green stools you should check your nursing time because baby may be drinking more fore-milk than hind-milk. So keep your baby at the breast as long as you can
