Not Pooping?

My newborn will be 5 weeks old tomorrow. I’m FTM and saw a pediatrician video the other day that said newborns usually poop a lot until about week 6, then it drastically drops. My little one is formula and breastfed, about 50/50. He was pooping about 5-8 times a day, and the past 5 or so days he has only majorly poo...

This evening I have tried every burping position you can think of with her and she’s still uncomfortable. I don’...
