One Week Old baby not pooping
My one week newborn is not pooping from last 36 hours . He use to poop regularly for every 3 -5 hours until his 6th day, but now is not pooping from last 36 hours.
He is feeding both breast and formula but 80% is breastfeeding only.
He is releasing gas (farting) regularly.
Can you please advise if it is normal or not ?

Don't worry if the baby is not vomiting , has no distension of abdomen , is active and feeding well . Occasionally constipation takes place in formula fed babies even if majorly you are giving breast milk.
