Hi there.. I can understand your concern.. but do not worry as many infants pass stools once in 3-4days.. as long as your baby is passing urine more than 8-10 times per day which means he is getting enough feeds.. if he is refusing feeds, abdominal bloating, excessive crying then you can consult nearest paediatrician soon..
