Hello... yes... it is normal for a newborn not to pass stool for upto 5 days... but it should not be ignored... Could u help me by examining the baby's tummy by softly pressing it n check if u find any hard or crunchy feeling when u r doing it..?? Also could u tell me the consistency of his last stool??? Was it normal or hard... kindly contact me for further help...
