Greetings of the day
It's quite for baby of this age to pass frequent stools.which usually occurs soon after intake of food,its due to active gastrocolic reflex. The consistency of the stool also varies depending on diet of baby. There is no reason to worry about the stools if there are no signs of dehydration,baby is accepting feeds well. Maintaining hydration by giving supplement oral rehydration solution is advisable

I hope it helped

Kindly get back to me in case you have any other query

Take care
