Mucus poop EBF

Hi ladies you all have been so helpful! My little one 5 weeks and 4 days old her poop has gradually over the last week or so become very mucusy. She is not fussy and seems alert and happy as well as sleeping her normal amount and schedule. I don't think it is a milk allergy because her only symptom is the mucus in the poop. I think it might be a hind milk / fore milk imbalance. My questions are
1. Does anyone have any other ideas about what might be causing it?
2. My right boob might have a slight over active let down, I pumped off the fore milk today and then tried to block feed, but I have seen no positive change in her poop today it might even be a little worse. I am really not sure if block feeding would be the best way to cope with this since it is only affecting my right boob and I don't want to over simulate my left boob.

Thanks!
