If OK, feed the baby: I am presuming that your baby is already home with you. As long as your baby is feeding well, looks well, and has a soft belly you may continue to feed. See what the next bowel movement looks like; if it is soft then the time/days in between bowel movements should be just fine.

Neonatal issues: It depends on what you call constipation and the baby's age.Usually in the first days of life the baby will have very frequent bowel movements. As the baby grows older it can create a pattern and not necessarily have stools every day especially if they are breastfed.Constipation at that age is considered to be hard stools. If there is bm at least once a week and soft it is ok.F/u with pcp on this.
