Can a 7 Week Old Infant Have Diarrhea?

by Julienne
(Fullerton, CA USA)

My 7 week old son had toothpaste like stool once a day or once every other day for a couple of weeks.

For the last two days, he has loose stools and is having frequent movement (approx. 5 in a 12 hour period.) He is on both breast milk and formula.

Did I eat something bad? Or does he have some sort of bacteria in his stomach that is causing this? Is a fluctuation of stool consistency normal?
