The cited description is well within the normal range of stool characteristics. Gas is a combination of air you swallow during feeds and gas produced bu gut bacteria feeding on digestive debris. None of this sounds worrisome.

Agree with Dr. Ferguson in that what you described is not worrisome. For info: Flatulence: https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/digestive-diseases/gas-digestive-tract/eating-diet-nutrition. Wish you good health!
