My 4 month old breastfed baby is not passing stool for the last 3 days. he is very grumpy and i assume its because of this. what can i do to help this along?

Hard to say: A breastfed infant can pas a smear every feed or have one cradle filler once a week. If it is soft when they go it is considered normal. A 4 mo has an average of 1 hr/d of fussing for no known reason. I would not assume this is abnormal or in need of anything.
