Changes in baby’s poo - normal for 5 weeks old? **TW photos of poo attached**

here are some photo’s of today’s poos. Sometimes there lots of it, other times not a lot and the poo can be a mix of slimy/snotty, seedy or watery with flecks in it. Can someone with experience tell me if these poos look normal please?

Baby is combi fed 50/50 (using a bottle for both types of feed) and no changes to feeding habits / amount of milk consumed.

from 1-4 weeks baby would poo once or twice per day. Week 5 and now baby is doing 8+ poos per day of varying amounts.

baby has baby acne/spotty face, head, neck and chest which they have seen the GP for recently as i worried about a milk intolerance and GP says the frequency of poo can be normal and spots could be normal baby acne.

I guess the reason i’m posting is because I feel like their pattern is SO different to before and has changed literally over night.

That would be normal for a breastfed baby (including the frequency). I've no experience where there is some formula too.
