I've done 2 separate coolant changes and noticed some minor loss out of the bottle for months afterward.

If you're worried about it, slowly add coolant.

It would bother me but, like @7 skulls said, his took a long while to stabilize. As long as you don't smell it under the hood, and your oil shows no signs of contamination, I'd keep driving and watching.
