Hi dear don't worry. If your baby is breastfed, this is totally normal. I work with my pd and she said some breastfed babies don't poop after 5 days. The reason being is breastmilk has more nutrients and the baby is actually absorbing a lot of the nutrients before she poops. If it is after 5 days, and still no poop then bring to the Dr. Otherwise if she does poop before the day, see the consistency. If it is soft or watery then it is okay, just means this is a habit with your baby. If she poops hard pebble like poo then she is constipated. My darling is full breastfeed and she sometimes does not poop until after 4 days lol
