I am also taking care of foremilk and hindmilk. please let me know wat is the severity of 6-7 HPF pus cell and is sticky poop normal

At six weeks this is a normal pattern in many breast fed babies and doesn't warrant any further test or change in your diet or breastfeeding pattern.
If baby is gaining about 180- 200 gms per week feel relaxed.
