Hi Mom
Passing stool once in 3 days is absolutely normal. Exclusively breastfed babies can go upto 2 weeks without pooping in this age.
Crying can be due to many things and as a mom of 4 month baby you must be knowing the type of crying is associated with pain or not. 
If you feel pain is due to stomach ache, try massaging her tummy in circular motion with little water in your palm or give medicine only after consulting your paediatrician.
Burp her well. Keep her in upright position for 15 minutes after each feed.
You are doing great so cheer up!
