Brief Answer: No cause for concern Detailed Answer: Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day There is no cause for concern for altered stools. It could be due to diet alteration. If the stool frequency is normal, no alteration in consistency and child is accepting feeds well then there is no cause for concern.
