Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...it is very much normal for babies on formula feeds to pass green stools. You need not worry unless the baby has got blood in motion or low urine output or green colored vomiting or very dull and lethargic. Am telling these symptoms so that you will know when to approach a pediatrician.
