Normal: Light brown/yellow liquid stool is totally normal poop in a two week old. So don't let that bother you. You say he is restless - what exactly are you noting with his behavior? If he is still eating well, not screaming/crying continuously, has no fever, no vomiting (not just baby spit-up), then he may just be having one of those days. Sometimes it is actually OVER-stimulation that makes fussy.

Pretty common: Loose stools with some color variation from green through yellows and browns is pretty normal in a 2 week old. I would keep track of the time being and let the kids doc know if you are concerned about anything specific.
