A. Stool pattern of small children changes from time to time. It can be more than 7 times per day also and sometimes the child will not pass stool for 10 days also. The most important thing is the consistency of the stool and if it is Semi solid to solid or semi liquid then there is no need tof worry about the frequency as well as colour as well as the smell of the stool Also straining and crying while passing urine and stool is very normal. the cryingd of the child is due to colic pain and not due to constipation

A. Just wait for few more days. Because see Your baby may poop after every feed or only once a week. It’s all normal. If baby is pooping after every feed, it's because as your baby’s stomach fills up, the milk stimulates the digestive tract, giving baby urge to go potty. But not to wait after a week see your doctor
