Baby not pooping
My baby is 3 months old. Her poop output used to be good from day 1, with 2-4 times a day. However, she hasn't passed poop for last 4 days. She is on exclusive breast feed. Should I be worried or can wait for a little longer?

No need to worry about it, you can wait for 5-6 days . Just feed your baby adequately, hydrate yourself by drinking 3L of water everyday
