Baby, constipated

My little boy is 10 weeks old and he hasn’t gone to the toilet in 3 days, can this be quite normal in formula fed babies? And what can I try and do to help?

It’s the weekend so can’t get hold of doctor / health visitor will do tomorrow morningif no bowel movement

How is he overall? Does he look comfortable, content or is he uncomfortable?

Sometimes certain formulas can cause constipation, Aptamil for example. Which one is he having?

Is he in pain at all? Is he crying or screaming whilst he's trying to poo?

I experienced this with my baby. I remember the health visitor telling me to walk around with my baby, keeping him upright as much as possible and to gently rub his tummy. I'm not sure if this worked with the constipation but it did help to soothe him
