Brief Answer:
Normal
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I feel that it is still common and normal to pass motion after every feed when you introduce any food during the early days. However if it continues for more than 10 feeds it should be considered that the constituents of the feed causing intolerance to the gut.
I agree with your doctor about ISOMIL. They are pretty safe.
There are no studies about your assumption that soy based formulas are not good for infants and girls. They are pretty well tolerated and effective for the normal growth and development of the child.
If they are unsafe your doctor does not suggest you that and the manufacturer like ABBOTT does not manufacture it.
I suggest you can try it first.
Let me know.

Brief Answer:
Continue ISOMIL
Detailed Answer:
I suggest to continue giving her at least two to three tins. Frequent change of the formula is not advisable.
The frequency should reduce sooner.
Let me know the result in four days.
