Brief Answer:
It is completely 0 Do not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi...

1. Bottle fed babies have this sort of stool frequency. This is not constipation. Make sure the consistency of formula is as described on the product. Do not worry.

2. Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry.

3. Green coloured stools is also normal.
