What is the reason for the baby having black stools now at 70 days?

Patient's question:

The baby is now 70 days old and usually has a bowel movement every 3 or 4 days. Each time, the stool is normal, and the baby is in good spirits. Almost all feedings are breast milk, with only occasional use of formula once or twice! Today, the poop feels slightly darker than usual, but it also has normal yellow streaks. I wanted to ask what could be the reason for this.

Doctor's answer:

Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the return characters kept as they are:
"Based on your description and the photos of your baby's stool, I'd like to say that this situation is not a big problem. You don't need to worry too much. This could be a case of physiological constipation. Breastfed babies are more prone to this type of constipation. If you start introducing solid foods after the baby is five months old, such as vegetable puree or vegetable juice, it may help alleviate the constipation. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!"
