No issue about popping in 20 days old neonate..
Neonate may pass stool 10-15 times or once in week ..
if there is abdomen distension or vomitting then it’s worrisome..
Crying is due to inadequate feeding .. or not giving proper burping.. or colic
So try to feed nd burp for 20 min ..

It's probably Infant colic. Pooping once in week or several times in a day is completely normal provided baby is feeding well, active and abdomen is soft. You can consult nearby Pediatrician in case baby is not consolable.
Next Steps
Try to distract the baby- the best remedy for colic!

If your child is playful and not irritable right now, there is no cause of worry. Babies can pass stools 10-12 times / day or even once a week
Babies usually cry at night because of colic. Try massaging the tummy, distracting the child.
If anything otherwise pls consult.
