    Is he in pain?  If not, totally normal.

    This. Esp, if he's BF. My daughter goes every other day or every 3. And when she does it's a mess!

    I take it from your siggy and the mention of juice he is now getting a solid meal each day, we had/have pooping difference after introducing solids too. It started with 4 days, then another 3 day stretch and after that we took him to pedi. At that point we had to do a suppository to remove in blockage that might be holding him back. He still goes stints of 3-5 days without pooping and the pedi said that is acceptable with having introduced solids.

    If he doesn't by 5-7 days or especially if he does and there is blood take him in and get further instructions from your pedi. All I can tell you is our pedi recommended apple prune juice and we now have introduced plums and he still doesn't poop every day.

    DS hasn't gone since Tuesday, but he's acting normal, so no biggie. Every 3-4 days is totally normal in our house.

    DD goes every 5 days-ish.  She's EBF so that's totally normal.

    I was shocked when I was told by my pedi that a LO can go 7 days without having a poop (when they're EBF) and it's totally normal, and up to 5 days if they are FF. 7 (or 5!) days without pooping sounds awful to me!

    But like a PP said, if your LO is not in pain, then I wouldn't worry about it. When it hits the 5 day mark, I'd at least discuss it with your pedi and tell him/her all you've tried. The typical juice, temp, bicycling, etc did NOT help with DS-- but a warm bath did. If he soaked in the warm bath with me it was almost guaranteed that he was going only shortly after. You could try that?
