Hi,
Your baby is completely normal. What you have described above is a normal reflex in babies called as Gastrocolic reflex, where after each feed baby passes stool. This will eventually and gradually reduce and the child will resume normal bowel functions as it grows. This is experienced by every child which is born. Put off your anxiety and enjoy with your child.
Hope it helped.
In case you require any further assistance,will be glad to assist you.
Take care.
