I have a 9 day old boy and he hasnt pooped in 24 hours he is formula fed is this normal?

Yes: Infants can go for days without opening their bowels even if formula fed. So long he is feeding, passing urine and acting fine don't worry, you can stimulate his rectum by measuring temperature rectally that would help him open his bowels, if still concerned, see his doctor
