Hello.
It is normal for parents to get worried when their little one is experiencing loose motions. However its important to note that green coloured potty is a normal occurrence in a baby who is on formula feeds.
Next Steps
What you need to do is monitor your baby's activity and hydration status. To monitor the hydration of a baby, the single most useful and accurate method is by watching the urine of the baby. At this age its expected for your baby to pass urine once every 3-4 hours. If they do not pass urine or there is a delay of around 8-12 hours in urine then it may be a marker of dehydration. In such case you need to visit your paediatrician immediately.
