Is it normal for my 17-day-old baby to have fewer bowel movements?

It is normal for a baby to have irregular bowel movements, and it is not necessarily a cause for concern if they go a few days without passing stool. Encouraging them to drink plenty of fluids, whether breast milk or formula, can help regulate their digestion. If you have any concerns, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for further advice.
