you have to meet the doctor if it is watery inconsistency  or hard consistency othecrwise semi solid to solid stool is normal.
also passing stool after taking food is normal.

Answer

Hello mom 
If your baby is passing stool once in a day then every thing is fine and you should definitely not worry about it at all. Baby should be totally on mother’s milk. Mother’s milk contains all the nutritious baby needs so there is no need to give anything else till six months.
