Continue breast milk: Just be aware that breastfed babies usually make somewhat liquid stools. Formula supplement is not necessary.

Breastfed stools: Normal breastfed stools are loose yellow and seedy. If you were using formula and stopped it is normal to see a change in stool quantity and quality. Breast fed stools quality may change based on moms diet. If loose monitor for diaper rash.
