Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM.
After birth baby passes meconium which is black in color,then greenish black, black, gray and finally yellow in color.
If you formula milk in place of mother's milk the color and consistency changes.
It is usual, nothing to worry.
Hope this reply clears your doubt.
