my 5 day old poops after every feed, hes formula fed aswell is this normal?x
 
I think so...if you think of it, the food going in is pushing the stuff already there down more and...poop! lol
I know my LO now poops right after breccie, lunch and dinner but he is 1 now.
I BF and BF babies don't usually poop everyday so I don't remember that happening then...perhaps just ask your HV to make sure :)
 
Perfectly normal, like mrspmp says the milk and the movement of their digestive system essentially forces everything through and out the other end. Their digestive system changes around 6 weeks old so that they don't reflexively poop with every feed.
 
Mine pooped DURING every feed, totally normal. Now he leaves an hour or two after he eats.
