Are bowel changes common in babies after transitioning to semi-solid foods?

Hi doctor,

My 6-month-old daughter had just had some puree (veggies and potatoes) with milk and after that she produced watery stool. Is this something we should be concerned about or normal, considering she is taking the NAN HA2 (hypoallergenic formula) and puree? She appears healthy, smiling, and is fully vaccinated.

Kindly help.
