Diarrhoea in ebf?

A quick question-sorry to be brief on my phone. My ds is ebf and 5 months. Although otherwise well ( as yet no fever or other symptoms) he has gone from one poo every5 days to about 5 in last 24 hours. The colour is normal yellow although not as thick and perhaps lighter in colour. Is this what diarrhoea in ebf looks like? He's still feeding and doing plenty of wees. I thought it would be dark green but perhaps I'd got that wrong! Thanks in advance x

Doesn't sound like diarrhoea to me :)
That colour and frequency sounds on the normal spectrum, but check with HV if worried.

if it is diarhoea the smell is what gives it away.
does it smell sour and vile? does it burn the skin?
frequency itself is not so much and issue ime.

That's good is diarrhoea usually green? He does seem to be teething so maybe it's that although no gnashers on show yet :)
