Yes, it is normal for a breastfed baby to go several days without having a bowel movement. To help, you can encourage your baby to drink plenty of fluids to soften the stools. You can also try increasing the frequency of feedings and doing exercises like leg flexions and bicycle movements. Massaging your baby's belly in a clockwise direction can also help. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask your healthcare provider for advice.
