My baby didn't poop since last 5 daysp
She is born on March 17, 2020. Shewas on formula milk for first 4 days. Then for 2-3 days she was on partially formula milk and partially my milk. Now from last 2 days I am giving her mostly mother milk only( 90% mother milk 10% formula milk). Slowly I am recovering of breast cracks. In first 3 days she pooped a lot, almost 7-8 times a day. Last she pooped on 20 march. She didn't poop from last 5 days. In night she cried some times a lot then do fart. Please suggest what should I do now?

Crying may be due to colic for which you can use carminative like Colimex drops 0.3 ml sos
But passing stool 8- 10 times per day to once in 7-10 days is considered to be normal for baby of this age .
Next Steps
Wait and watch for 2-3 days more.
