Infant Having Yellow Stools With Increased Frequency. Is It Normal?

My baby is 2 months old and drinks 7 oz every 3-4 hours and at night can sleep for 6 hour stretch . Lately for the past 3 or 4 days he had been pooping alot. He would pass 2 regular normal bowel movements and throughout the day he would poop very small amounts about 6 or more and is yellow. His poop a few weeks ago was green and very watery The consistency of pancake batter. Is this normal and if not what are the possibilities of what this could mean? Thx!
