Breast feed babies can go without pooping for 5- 6 days too. If baby is not cranky and having his feeds no need to worry

Poop frequency in baby varies, if baby is exclusively on breastfeeding and there are no other signs of discomfort like abdominal pain or distension of abdomen then it's absolutely normal even if a baby is not pooping for a week.
