This is natural tendency of babies to poop infrequently. Some babies pass 10 stools in a day or once in 10 days. Don't worry. Only if baby is crying or is irritable while passing stools then it is a concern.

This is normal in 6 weeks old. Not pooping for 4 days is acceptable unless baby is crying and irritable. This pattern will change
