You can wait. If there is any problem, please give hallens child suppository (glycerine ). It has to be inserted in the anus. For technique, please see instructions on the box or search on google. Or you can take help of a nurse.

Hi,
If baby is active and feeding well, you can wait for another 2-3 days.
