Normal poops?

Hi moms! My baby turned 6 months two weeks ago. And in the past few days his poops have changed quite a bit. Frequency and texture. He is exclusively breastfeeding. He usually pooped once or twice a day and then went 2 or 3 days without pooping. A couple days ago, he pooped in the morning his usual mustardy color and texture, which seemed pretty normal to me. After that tho, a couple hours later, he had another “pooped” diaper, but this one seemed a little more olive color and a different texture (will post picture below). Since then he has been pooping every 3 to 4 hours and his poops have been gradually changing color and texture. Currently they look bright green and a little more pasty. (Will post picture in the comments). I guess I am wondering, is this normal for their age, given that their digestive system is maturing? Should I be concerned and treat it as diarrhea, maybe take him to the doctor? He has two teeth that came out two weeks ago. My diet hasn’t changed at all. I don’t know if I should worry or if this is normal. Thank you in advance!

It’s probably just something your eating. But also babies poops change as they get older even with breastfeeding, my son had some crazy poops while breastfeeding but it looks fine to me as long as he’s not in pain or having trouble pooping it’s good

@Shynel he’s not in pain at all, and he’s his normal self.. happy and wiggly. Just pooping more often 🫣

My babies the same age and their poop looks like both above sometimes! I assume it's normal.

Yea looks normal but more often might be whatever your eating

Might want to mark this as sensitive incase people eating their lunch don’t want to see this pop up on the feed 😂🫶🏽

Have you started him on solids yet? That could be a reason why his poops are changing

@Destiny not yet 😢

Have you started weaning if so could be getting used to food

@Jessica not at all. No solids whatsoever cause he is still not showing interest and exclusively breastfed.
