Brief Answer:
Yes it's normal
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.
Green colour stools occurs in babies because the transit time of food is less. As a result, bile released by gall bladder doesn't get absorbed completely. It's a normal thing.
Frequency of stools can be once once a day or once in two to three days. This is also normal.
I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
