Is this diorrhea, warning photo!

Our baby is 2 weeks and 3 days old. Her poos are normally paste consistency. For the past 2 days they have been watery. Shes not doing any more or less than usual and doesn't have a temperature and she is otherwise perfectly well.

Is this classed as diorrhea or is it normal for breastfed babies to have watery poos? I've attached a photo.

Looks like normal baby poop to me!

It’s normal. Diarrhoea is classed as four times as many loose stools as normal. A loose stool in itself is not diarrhoea.

Looks normal to me. I'm sure NHS online has photos of normal poo, for breastfeed babies.

That looks normal for a breastfed baby! Don’t worry , it can go a bit green too, sometimes have a textured consistency. All normal
