Hi my baby is 1.5 month old and has not pooped since 2 days.she is passing urine and feeding. Sometimes she is straining to poop but is able to pass gas. Yesterday she could not burp and when laid down vomitted the milk. She gets cranky sometimes but is not always crying. Can we take some medicines for passing stools?

Hello, it’s normal in newborns and early infancy. No need for any medication as they pass by themselves, continue breastfeeding.
