Exclusively breastfed newborns may not pass stools daily. It's completely normal. Since their growth is really fast during this period , they will absorb most of the breast milk leaving nothing to poop.

For newborns, it’s normal not to pass stools every day. Newborns, especially those who are breastfed, may go several days without a bowel movement, as their bodies are absorbing most of the milk.
Next Steps
Keep him feeding well and look for any warning signs.
Health Tips
However, keep an eye out for warning signs like a swollen belly, persistent vomiting, or blood in the stool. If you notice any of these, or if the baby seems unusually uncomfortable, it’s best to consult a pediatrician.
