2 months old baby not pooping daily
My two-month-old baby is not pooping daily. Last two weeks he was pooping for 3 days once and now it's been 5 days since he passed poop.
But from birth to 45 days he used to poop on a daily basis.
Please suggest thanks in advance.

If the baby is not crying a lot, it's acceptable. They can pass every 5 days normally. No problem. It's a temporary phase.

Hello,
It’s not necessary for babies to pass motions daily. As long as he is feeding well and his tummy is not distended, he should be okay.
Next Steps
If you feel he is straining or crying while passing motions, visit a doctor as medicines for such young babies can’t be prescribed without examination.
