Hi... it is very common once you start introducing solids. Its nothing to worry about.
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.
But I suggest that you start complementary feeding only after the baby completes 6 months of age.
