One Week Old baby not pooping

2022-11-12 19:38:57
My one week newborn is not pooping from last 36 hours . He use to poop regularly for every 3 -5 hours until his 6th day, but now is not pooping from last 36 hours. He is feeding both breast and formula but 80% is breastfeeding only. He is releasing gas (farting) regularly. Can you please advise if it is normal or not ?

Don't worry if the baby is  not vomiting , has no distension of abdomen , is active and feeding well . Occasionally constipation takes place in formula fed babies even if majorly you are giving breast milk.
