Passing stool after or even during each feed is due to gastro colic reflex, which is normal and quite common. However if your child is not gaining weight , which means there is failure to thrive,  then he / she may be having something more serious. The child is not able to absorb the food due to someone form of malabsorption or food intolerance. More details are needed on the feeds you are giving. Also you need to be very sure that the child is not gaining weight .
