Black poo after 7 days

Hi all, my little one was born at 34 weeks 2 and is still in hospital for jaundice but is generally feeding really well.

One thing, I am breastfeeding at the moment and I was under the impression that his poo is turn into more green/yellow liquid consistency once he reached 7 days old. However it's still more like meconium and black and tarry. Is this a sign of infection?

@lunitunes I'm really not sure on that one sorry. Mine weren't born early but I'd say that by 7 days their poo was pale mustard colour and seedy?

How is your LO now?

Congratulations too on your lovely new LO Flowers
