A. in case of motions consistency matters rather than the frequency and color of the stool. if your child is comfortable and accepting feeds and passing urine and the consistency of stool is normal then nothing to worry about this

A. Drink lots of water and also drink a glass of water before feeding the baby. Green poop is normal in formula fed babies or could be imbalance of foremilk and hindmilk feed the baby well on one side till empty so that the baby gets hind milk too and then switch to the other side or could be due to iron supplements check and consult a paediatrician and he will guide you better after examination and analysis
