Brief Answer:
Gastrocolic reflex. It is normal.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Let me assure you that there is nothing abnormal in passing the stool after each feed. There is a phenomenon called gastrocolic reflex which makes the child do so.

It can be normally found in many children and is not a cause for concern. It is not serious and there is no need to worry.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
