6-day-old baby hasn't pooped anymore (breastfeeding)

Hi, that's no problem at all. With breastfeeding, it can sometimes take a while, up to a week. With bottle feeding, they should poop every day (something to do with digestibility).

    Daughter 1 had >10 poop diapers per day while breastfeeding, and daughter 2 only pooped once a week or even after 10 days. As long as she has enough wet diapers and is gaining weight well, there's no problem.

    Just call the postpartum care or midwife; they can give you some tips.
