Weight of baby is good. That much passing stools is also normal. It's nice that you're concerned as a parent, but do not worry, your child is fine and growing well. Just keep tracking your baby's weight.

Reports are normal. Passing these many motions is expected with formula. Unless baby is losing weight, nothing to be done. Start solid foods now as baby is 5 months old.
