No: There is a very wide range of normal for little babies in terms of the bowel habit. Believe it or not little babies can go for up to 2 weeks without passing a stool and it is still considered normal provided they are not distressed. Bottle fed babies are more prone to constipation than breast fed. Make sure you have the ratio of formula to water measured accurately and otherwise cary on!
