Yes : Unless some other symptoms are going on, yes that isn't unusual. Your pediatrician can certainly confirm this.

Pretty common: The greenish color in stool is the breakdown product of the bile when it has not been in the gut long enough to go through a change to yellowish or brown. It is normal as is the loose consistency. Some digested material will take on a darker tint than others & the germs in the gut will also impact the final product. I'd ignore the whole issue.

Yes it is: The stool (poop) you describe can be quite normal. Yellow/greenish stool is normal for a baby who is either breastfeeding or formula feeding. Formula feed babies tend to stool less often and breastfed babies may stool more often and their stool may be a little looser. The color can be related to the flora in the gut and the biles excreted into the GI tract.
