2. Artificially fed babies (earthy yellow hard stool): Babies fed formula milk have less stool, usually dry and rough, slightly hard as hard stool, but as long as it is not difficult to digest and does not resemble sheep stool, it is okay. If digestion is not a problem, it is usually a yellowish or golden color with a slight sour odor, about 1-2 times a day.
