A. it will not hel in passing stool, typically breastfed babies will not poop as often because their bodies absorb most of the breast milk. going even a week without having a bowel movement is ok, just continue ebf

A. Not recommended, If your baby is only being breastfed they may not poop every day. This is because their body can use up almost all the components of breast milk for nutrition and there is very little left that needs to be eliminated. After the first 6 weeks or so they can go even a week or two without a poop.

A. No need of gripe water if your baby on exclusively breastmilk then 7 days without poop is normal . Further you may consult paediatrician.
