Congratulation on completing EBF. Also, you can always give water outside meals not necessarily immediately after. Also, make sure the consistency of what you feed him is right.
A newborn’s first stool is likely to be black with a tar-like consistency. This is called meconium, and it contains mucus, skin cells, and amniotic fluid. Black stool shouldn’t last more than a couple of days. Black Poo at 6 months is worrisome, you have to see a doctor asap
