Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

Passage of stool is normal after each feed in infants. It is what is called gastrocolic reflux. Babies do bring out small quantity of feed after feeding. If it is only small quantity and baby is gaining weight normally then nothing much needs to be done. If it is a large vomitus then gastric reflux should be considered and further investigated.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
