Poop: If you are breastfeeding this is a normal occurence. If your baby is comfortable just monitor him and increase the fiber in his diet.

Wait: As long as the stool is not hard, rocky, clay-like, the child is likely fine. The normal frequency of spooling is form multiple times a day to once a week. Be patient. Sometimes a little rectal stimulation with a rectal thermometer can speed things along.

Nothing: Up to 5 days without pooping is considered normal for kids. Giving some undiluted juice can help if you are worried.

CONSTIPATION: Pay attention to diet. Give more fruits and veggies. Push fluids like juices. Apples , bananas, rice makes it hard, meanwhile, give glycerine suppository.
