Motion problem in 6 months old
Hello, initially my son used to pass motion once in 4/5 days, but after 3-3.5 months it became  like everyday. Now he completed 5 months and it's been 5 days since he pooped. We have not started with outside food yet and he is on breast feed. May I please know what can be the reason for this suddenly not passing motion since 5 days. He has turned 6 months and we are planning to start on solids.

This is quite normal. If he is not crying a lot or not gaining weight, no need to worry. Please visit a pediatrician just to be sure though. Please continue breastfeeding only till 6 months are complete
