Can call Dr on video: The doctor can evaluate and decide if the baby is fine or is constipated. Some babies do not poop every day, while others are having problems and need to poop more often than that. Generally, as long as a baby is normal in breastfeeding, growth, and development; and has very soft poops, no bloating, no fussing; then whether he poops once every 5-7 hours or every 5-7 days is not very important.
