Yes the stool is normal. There is a wide variation in colour and consistency and frequency of normal stools. So no problem. Weight is ok. Height and head size and overall development have to be looked at and tracked over time to comment. Growth rate is likely to reduce after 3 to 4 months so intake may be lesser. Usually nothing to worry about.
Next Steps
please visit a pediatrician for check up

The colour of the stool is normal, consistency is loose but these variations can be normal at this age. Don’t worry as far as weight gain is adequate and baby is not showing any distress/ excessive crying etc.
As the baby grows, they start to explore more, so they tend to be distracted more. Also, frequency of feed will reduce as compared to earlier(1-2 Months of age) (that is, you needn’t feed every 2 hours) As fat as weight gain is adequate, There is no need to force feed.
Next Steps
Watch weight gain.
