Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Passing stools once in two days is normal if it is not hard . Colour other than presence of blood or white stools is not of much importance . It is more common in formula-fed babies. So, if baby is active, weight gain is proper , feeding well, passing urine adequately, stools are not very hard , you need not concern , it is normal.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Take care.
