A. this is normal in babies.See in such cases the child needs specialist care always. So try to follow with the same doctor and do not get anxious with s variety of opinion. Focus on treatment ok.

A. Hello dear parent! Exclusively breastfed babies might not be passing stools even for a week and it is normal as long as your baby is active and healthy, not showing any discomfort symptoms. Do cycling movements with both the baby’s legs to relieve from discomfort. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand.
