I would mention it when you get him weighed but likely nothing to worry about! Assuming he’s still having plenty of wet nappies? Our son was a month before he stopped pooing everyday, now he can go up to 5 days between poops (he’s 2 months & 2 weeks). To make sure he doesn’t become uncomfortable I’d say do some clockwise tummy massages, bicycle kicks etc just to help get things moving! It’s also normal for babies to lose weight after birth so try not to worry x

I breast feed my baby as well and he’s constantly pooping. Like said above it’s normal for babies to lose some of their weight when they’re brought home, my baby lost 5oz but gained double what he needed to the weeks after that. Most of the time you can tell how much baby is eating by how much they’re pooping, so if baby isn’t having very many poops baby might just not be getting enough during feeds. My baby will feed for 15 min and act like he’s done but I try to get him to eat more cause he should be eating for about 30min at a time. Not saying you’re not feeding enough either just saying maybe he’s not getting enough, you also may not be able to produce enough some women just can’t. But if baby is getting plenty of food and you’re sure of it than I would check with the doc to see why he’s having a hard time getting a poop out!
