Babies who are exclusively breastfed are often pass less frequently stools. Up to 8 to 10 days often normal. Nothing to worry. Suppository is not recommended for fear of injury and laxatives not required. Give fore milk and hind milk of alternate breast for a longer time.

It seems ok only , if child doesn’t pass gas or abdominal distension and running fever or decrease in urine then it is problematic. And make sure child is fed breast milk from each breast completely , as initial part Maori of liquid and later part more of fat and protein . So complete emptying of breast milk while feeding important for child nutrition and growth .

Hi. This is normal. If the baby is feeding well and active, nothing to worry. You can wait for 6-8 days.
