Baby Passing Dark Green Stools With White Flecks. Has Solids In The Morning And Breastfed During Nights. Solution?

Hi there, my 8 month old baby had a poo today that was dark green (normal) but it had white flecks in it. The best description i have is that it looks like it had litltle flecks of feta cheese or little bits of white paper. It was also a bit firmer than usual but nothing major. She is on solids and formula during the day and breast fed at night and first thing.
