5w newborn has 1-2 bowel movements/day supplemented with breastmmilk, sometimes seedy yellow sometimes yellow green and clay. baby strains and cries.

Normal stools: Sounds like the baby has gas. Most likely related to something you are eating. Can give simethicone drops (mylicon) 0.3 ml before each feed.
