How many times are you feeding the baby at night? If you are feeding at least three times at night then there will be more chances of child pooping because generally the baby digest breastmilk better so if the above signs which you have mentioned are not present, then there is nothing to worry, but still, I would suggest you to visit your pediatrician for a physical evaluation
Next Steps
Give night feeds at least three times a day and then update

Of baby’s abdomen distending or baby vomiting then go for examination and investigation
Give adequate feeding and then baby routine will stabilised after 1 month
If persistent issue then definitely go for investigation if required rectal stimulation
