Greetings to you. Breast fed baby passes golden yellow semisolid motions 3--4 times a day. As you say baby is comfortable, try sorbitol syrup 1tsf at night and in morning. Add banana mash in diet. Give lots of fluids like ORS . Please consult through practo . I like to do video consult. Use my number on whatsapp. Any problem , don't hesitate to show baby physically. Please give feed back.I will be looking for your feedback.

This is very common to have constipation in baby who are on breastfeeding. If baby is comfortable, no abdominal distension, feeding well then no need to worry. You can use glycerin suppository if baby feel uncomfortable. For information you can watch this video on my channel

Next Steps
If baby shows abdominal distension, not feeding well, lethargy , immediately consult your paediatrician

We can wait for a few more days if he is not crying. If needed give glycerin suppository (in anus) like Hallens infant 1 whole. Instructions are on the box about how to give or you can search on Google
