My 3 week old brestfed baby has not been pooping for 4 days but has been passing gas. should i be worried?

Constipation: Constipation is technically 7-10+ days without a poop. If passing gas, then they aren’t obstructed. If your baby is colicky or otherwise distressed, the poop will come..,, observe a few more days
