My baby was 3 months old.he's not pooping for 5 days already.is it normal?if not, what should i do?should i go to hospital?

Not normal: Call pediatrician for advice. Might start with glycerin suppository if baby otherwise healthy and still eating regularly. If no bm and vomiting also, needs to go to hospital for evaluation.
