Totally normal. They don't have to poo every day, and as long as the poo isn't hard and dry when it does come, it is not constipation.

I presume he isn't constipated as you don't mention this (straining etc.) In which case I wouldn't worry too much, perfectly normal from what I remember.

absolutely fine dont worry. my friends DS didnt poo for days and the HV said to come back if nothing happens in 10 days.

congrats on your DS, being a parent is a minefield of this kind of stuff and then some. But is the most rewarding experience of a lifetime Smile
