My baby is 6 days old. and for the past two days she has only been giving wet farts and not actual poo. is this normal for a newborn or not? t.i.a

If it gets hard: Breast fed babies can have a little poo each feed or a big blowout every 7-10 days.Watery stools are common. Formula babies are more regular. Nothing you posted is alarming.
