They are also fairly runny. This is not considered a problem. You will also notice that there are small seed like objects in the stool. Breast fed diapers are often called baby poop mustard because they look a lot like mustard. Your new baby should begin having stools daily by 3-4 days. Your baby should be having at least 3-4 soiled diapers a day by the first week of life. While your newborn will have different sized stools, large and small, you should only count a stool as one of these stools if it is larger than a quarter. Report any problems with stooling to your baby's practitioner or pediatrician. Photo © Robin Elise Weiss
