Hi there...I understand your concern. Green stools is absolutely normal, all babies pass yellow or green stool after every feed as their intestine is short. Stools may be slightly loose while you're breastfeeding, and that is normal too.
When you should be concerned:
1. She has blood in her stools
2. She is peeing less than once in 6 hours
3. She has vomiting more than 5 times/day
4. She is not gaining weight
5. She is not feeding properly
If any of the above are there, see a pediatrician. Otherwise, she s a normal, healthy baby. Hope this answered your question. Take care!
