Don't worry at all, its absolutely normal.
There is something known as a transitional phase that exist during this time of weaning. This occurs the baby is shifted gradually from milk to solids. It will neutralize on its own. Just make sure whatever you are feeding is fresh, mashed and healthy.
Take care!

Its the natural reflex not to worry. Child may go upto 10 times in a day. But take care that it occurring only after food and stool is not watery.
