Accepted Answer

with regular consistency of the stool is semi solid to solve it is not constipation and no treatment is required.
In COLIC pain you can give anti colic medicines like colicaid 0.5 ml to the child and this medicine can be given maximum three or four times per day but to prevent this problem kindly do regular burping for 15 to 20 minutes.
Do not keep the child back on the bed after one burping.
during the colic episode you can do stomach massage and limb cycling movements and if the child is more than 2 months of age you can give tummy time also

that's ok and it's  normal for smaller babies. Some babies don't poo even upto a week. If baby is active and healthy and if taking feeds well then no issues. If baby doesn't po for more than a week or ten days then you should see your doctor. Dont wait anytime after a week or near.
