They go by what the poop is like rather than how long without. They say as long as poop is soft when they do go to then there’s no concern. Only class it as constipation if when baby goes the poop is hard.

I remember my midwife saying up to a week is normal sometimes to not poo for a baby. My six week has done max 4 days

Also varies with formula fed and BF. My doctor said up to a week is normal, we're every 4 days. Also agreed on the poop, if baby isn't straining and all looks normal then don't worry too much about how frequently it is.

Mine went 8 days before they gave something to help
