Yes this is normal. Babies have strong gastro-colic reflex means whenever they feed , they pass stool. If consistency is semisolid no need to worry. If it is full watery ,u might need to take Consultation so that there should not be any dehydration
Health Tips
keep her upright for around 20-30 minutes post feeding to prevent gas issues.
