Is baby breastfed? if so I think not going for anything up to 14 days is considered normal.
I would ring your LMC though just to make sure that all is ok as he is so small.
breastfed babies at that age normally go nearly every time they have a feed, its not till they get a couple of months old that they can go days/weeks without pooping. i would be worried if they had only passed meconium at birth and nothing else since. there should have been a couple (at least) of dirty nappies with meconium.
Thomas had 2 meconium poos on the day he was born and then didnt go for 4 days. We were initially worried, but when he went he exploded and was quite happy!
Is he straining like he wants to poop or is he just normal?
Did they not think it was odd at the hospital? When I had Jack they wouldn't have let us leave if Jack hadn't pooped. It was one of the things they had to check off before we were discharged. What does your m/w have to say about it?
Jack passed meconium in my waters but still had a lot more afterwards, so your bubs might be incredibly bunged up (be prepared for a shock!)
