My older children have had illnesses that made them only want to 
nurse and not eat their usual foods.  Their stools reverted to the 
nice yellow breastfed-baby stools, for as long as they were on 
breastmilk only.  Their normal toddler/preschooler stools returned 
when they got well and began eating table foods again.

I have also noticed this when an older child nurses thru pregnancy 
and then tandem nurses.  When the new baby arrives and mom's milk 
becomes abundant, the older child may enjoy the bounty so much that 
his/her stools look like a newborn's.

I think any time breastmilk makes up most of a child's diet (taking a 
guess, 85-90% or more?) you will see the seedy yellow 
pleasant-smelling stools.
