Baby passing gas but not pooping
Hi doctor,
I'm a lactating mother of a six week old baby.
I've started giving him 30ml Formula milk after 30-40 minutes of breastfeeding during night time. As he is continuously demanding for a feed lately.
Since 2 days he has not pooped but passing a lot of gas. Is this normal? Is it because of the breastfeed+ Formula ?
Can you please suggest ?

It is completely normal for babies to not pass stools for 3-4 days. If your baby is comfortable, there is no need to worry.
