Less poo since weaning?!

My lo is EBF and before weaning would poo 2-4 times a day. Now she can go a couple days without or does very small poos. I’m a bit concerned is this normal? She woke up 10+ times last night which isn’t like her and all of a sudden her farts smell so was wondering if it’s something to do with this.
