Brief Answer:
Yes, they are normal!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I have reviewed the information concerning your doctor. This stool habit it normal. As long as she stools normally and the tool is not too hard nor too soft, this is fine. Also, she has no feeding problems and this is just her own system. At 6 1/2months, we generally encourage that you start providing solid food to the baby introducing each food type at a time. I will recommend that you strongly consider doing so.

I hope this helps. I wish your daughter a healthy growth period. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
