5 month old baby not pooped for 3 days
My 4month+8days old baby has not pooped since last 3 days. He is having only breastmilk and no solids yet. Could you please suggest what can be done and is it ok to go so long without pooping?

Hi thanks for writing to Practo consult.
If baby has no distension of abdomen, no vomiting, no irritability and feeding well, DO NOT WORRY, its normal. But if any of signs mentioned above are positive visit pediatrician.
