My 3 month old has not pooped for 7 days now what could be the problem?

Baby constipation: Sounds like you are dealing with possible constipation or a baby that doesn't know how to relax their anal sphincter and so stool is withheld. First thing I'd try is to place a little KY jelly or other water based lubricant on a q-tip and do gentle rectal stimulation by placing just the tip in the anus and making gentle swirling motions with it to help the sphincter relax. If doesn't help,see doc.
