Contact : Contact your pediatricians office for guidance and an evaluation. Make sure the infant is taking fluids well in the meantime.

Depends: A breastfed baby can go a smear every feed or once a week.They can alter their pattern. Bottled babies go more often.If the kid acts fine, relax .If it is soft when it goes it is not constipation.If the kid is not interested in feeding and lethargic, contact the pediatrician.
