    My doctor said breastfed babies can go up to four days without a bowel movement because they use all the nutrients so efficiently. I was in the same boat with my 3 week old.

    Breastfed babies may not have as much poo. As long as baby is wetting 6-8 diapers diapers a day (minimum).

    Bowel movements start to slow down after a couple of weeks. As long as the stools are not hard, little balls and there is no blood- this is likely normal for him. Baby should still have the seedy consistency albeit probably larger amounts due to the frequency. Consult your pediatrician.
