Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I understand your concerns but don't worry. Newborns are prone to variations in frequency, consistency and colour of stools. This occurs due to immature bowel, gastro colic reflux and growing gut flora. So, don't worry. Just feed her regularly with exclusive breast milk without any water or other pacifiers.
If the stools are not red, black or clay coloured and baby is active, alert, feeding well with urination atleast 6-8 hours daily, then there is nothing to worry about.
Hopefully this will be helpful. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
Take care
