Do not worry if the baby has already passed black tarry stool after birth. Babies may not pass stool daily. Milk flow will increase once the baby suckles more and more. Colostrum, which the milk produced for few days after birth is very rich in nutrients and antibodies. So stop worrying and continue feeding. Breast milk is almost always sufficient although mothers never believe this statement. Babies loose weight for 10 days after birth and then rapidly start gaining it back as by 10 days feeding gets well established.
