Hard to be patient: As long as she is acting normal, sleeping well, eating normally without vomiting, and peeing well, you can watch her at home. Call your doctor for a visit and look out for increased sleep, vomiting (especially if it is yellow/green bile), a hard belly, or evidence of a hernia. Many babies will have infrequent stools, often worse with formula. You can try a rectal thermometer to stimulate a stool.

Mom's worry: about pooping, but it's really ok. All babies develop their own "poop pattern".Some babies poop every day, some even every feed! Some babies poop once a week or longer. And that's ok as long as they are feeding and growing well. Formula fed babies poop less than breast fed babies.Soft stool even if far apart is fine.Hard little pellets is constipation. Your baby's doctor can help advise you.
