Not a huge deal: Breast fed infants are famously irregular in their bowel habits. As long as they appear comfortable and happy, eating normally, not having excessive vomiting it's ok for them to not poop for a few days. https://www.aap.org/en-us/about-the-aap/aap-press-room/aap-press-room-media-center/Pages/Constipation.aspx
