A. It is not uncommon for babies, especially those who are breastfed, to pass stools less frequently, sometimes going several days without a bowel movement. Breast milk is very well absorbed by the baby’s body, and sometimes very little waste is produced. However, if your baby is 6-7 days old and is passing hard stools, appears uncomfortable, or is straining significantly, it could indicate constipation, and you might want to consult a doctor. It's also important to monitor for other signs like abdominal bloating, vomiting, or changes in your baby's feeding habits, as these could signal an underlying issue. In general, it’s a good idea to consult your pediatrician if you are concerned, as they can assess your baby’s overall health and give you advice on how to address the situation.
