It's ok if the baby isn't passing stool don't worry..he is getting used to the outer condition and because he isn't passing stool he isn't feeling hungry as well!
You can go for ayurveda suppository for babies that comes in market as push in babies anus!

As the temperature outside is also flactuating and baby is also experiencing the new environment around after birth .So relax and sit back. Babies will take 3-4 months to adjust to the environment around along with the muscles movement in body. You might have noted baby crying before passing urine and stool so its normal.
If he is taking less feed then feed him at intervals of 2 hrs or 3 hrs cz overfeeding can also be the reason of this.
Next Steps
Ask mother to take papaya in diet and diary products too

Don't worry. It's normal for babies to poop upto 6 times a day to not pooping for a week or two. However, check for the following symptoms -
1. Is he crying for no reason?
2. Does his abdomen (stomach area) looks distended?
3. Does he take burps after having milk?
4. Is he urinating more than 4-6 times a day?
If the answer for question 1&2 is yes, and for question 3&4 is no, then consult a paediatrician.
Next Steps
Make sure that you burp the baby after every feed.

It is very common In baby's don't worry. Baby can pass the stool 6-8times a day to baby can pass the stool 1-2times a week....because he has only milk in diet and digestion system is not devloped yet .
Just make shure baby gets your breast milk 6-8times a day. Urine should be pass 6-7times a day.
You can massage baby's tummy in anticlockwise direction with coconut oil.
Ayurved belives milk of mother have quality of consumed food of mother. So mother can eat amla, trifala, and easy to digestion food.
Next Steps
if required show to nearby pediatric doctor.
