Advice needed: no poop after intro to solids

I know most of you have not started solids yet, but I'd like some advice on constipation. My DD had her 6 month appt last week and doctor said we could start intoducing solids. I started giving her 1 tablespoon of oatmeal cereal with 2 tablespoons of my breastmilk couple times a day. She's eating it alright. Since introducing solids, she has not pooped in 3 days. I hear constipation is common when introducing solids. I've tried all the usual things like massage her belly, bicycle kicks, warm bath, water & juice, but still no poop. She normally poops everyday. She's still eating and sleeping well and doesn't seem to be fussy. I know she's teething soon since she's drooling lots and biting on everything.

Any suggestions & advice to get things moving again? How long should I let it go on before taking her to see the doctor? Thank you in advance!

    I wouldn't consider 3 days constipated. Especially if she's not showing signs of discomfort. N is EBF and went from going 3-4 times a day to now only going every 7-10 days. He's not constipated as it is soft when he does go. My pediatrician said sometimes
