I went to parent craft class and according to what I learned, it's more about the consistency. If your baby has always been popping every 4 days the it is OK. But if baby poop everyday and suddenly not popping for 4 days then have to check.

Is your baby breastfed? If yes, its actually quite normal.. the longest my baby went without pooping was 8 days 😥 Would advise you to eat more fruits and veggies... my baby had better bowel movements after I changed my diet a bit

If one day not poop I start worry already. But I give fm from the start. Sometimes just hard stool but doc told us to add 10ml of water. But if back to normal I will just use back the formula of the milk

usually newborn poop every after feeding, may I know the baby is having BM or FM? if FM probably you should change to other brand

If you breastfeeding, according to doctor it should be fine. As breast milk easily for baby to digest. Not to worry.

Yup, its normal.. As long as there’s wet diapers, they shld be fine.
