Yes it is quite common to not pass for a few days. Give colic drops. Please visit a pediatrician for check up. Suppository medicine can be given for helping to pass

Babies stool passing frequency varies a lot on brestfeeding. They sometimes passes stool upto 10-12 times a day and sometimes they pass stools once in 5-7 days. Both are normal provided baby is accepting feed well, active playful, passing urine adequately, not irritable.
