hello girish ,
change of colour stools in the children s not a problem to worry unless its blood streaked , make sure any usual diet has been changed for ur boy , also usually the colour of stools in babies usually varies so nothin to worry , give the usual food tat u r givin from before , if u r too worried thn u can consult a paediatrician .

Hi,
Stool color other than clay, bloody is normal in any child.
During first 6 months when baby is fully on mothers milk, depending on the absorption stool color will vary from yellow to greenish yellow to greenish
After 6 months,once u started the child on additional foods like spinach, leafy vegetables sometime it may change into green color.
no need to worry.
thanks
