2 months old baby not pooping daily
My two-month-old baby is not pooping daily. Last two weeks he was pooping for 3 days once and now it's been 5 days since he passed poop.
But from birth to 45 days he used to poop on a daily basis.
Please suggest thanks in advance.

Hello,
It’s not necessary for babies to pass motions daily. As long as he is feeding well and his tummy is not distended, he should be okay.
Next Steps
If you feel he is straining or crying while passing motions, visit a doctor as medicines for such young babies can’t be prescribed without examination.

You are doing well.
In this age , baby may be constipated and can hold stools for days .
Anything between 5-8 times a day to once in 7-8 days is fine
Provided baby is taking feeds well , gaining weight and passing urine.
Next Steps
Can wait for a day or two otherwise can consult online or in person
Health Tips
Tummy fullness , excessive crying , refusal to feeds , multiple vomiting ( green / milk) and fever are the danger signs. Should consult immediately if any of the described symptoms
