Greetings
It is generally normal for a 14-week-old baby to go several days without a bowel movement, as their digestive systems are still maturing. However, the combination of not pooping, passing gas, and crying suggests your baby may be experiencing discomfort from constipation or trapped gas. You might try gentle leg "bicycle" exercises, a warm bath, or a light tummy massage to help move things along. Please consult your pediatrician if you notice a firm abdomen, vomiting, or if the crying becomes inconsolable

In a 14-week-old baby, especially if exclusively breastfed, not passing stools for 3–7 days can be completely normal as long as the baby is feeding well, passing urine normally, gaining weight, and the abdomen is not distended. Passing gas is also common. However, excessive crying may be due to colic, gas, or discomfort while trying to pass stools. If the stool is soft when passed, constipation is unlikely.
Next Steps
Observe for feeding refusal, vomiting, abdominal distension, blood in stools, or persistent inconsolable crying. Consult your pediatrician if any of these occur.
Health Tips
Avoid giving home remedies, water, or laxatives without medical advice. Gentle tummy massage and bicycling the baby’s legs may help relieve gas.
