Brief Answer:
yes no need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
Formula fed babies do get green colour stools.
If the consistency has not changed and the frequency is the same as before no need to worry.
If loose and watery and frequent stools then it could suggest infection.
Otherwise relax and continue feeding.
