It is common for babies on full breast feeds to pass motion once in 7-10 days. Not to worry if baby is passing urine regularly and is active. Thing to watch is if passing hard stools.
Next Steps
To get a thyroid test, which probably must have been done along with newborn screening.

It's common in neonates going to motion every 3 to 5 days, some times even upto 7 days.
Just watch for vomitings, or poor feeding or lethargy.
After the lockdown, just do a thyroid function test to rule out hypothyroidism problem.
