Hi Doc, Its Been A Week Since My 3months Old

No need to worry
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. Let me assure you that for a baby of this age, it is normal to pass stool once in 10 days. Alternatively the child may pass stool several times a day or even after each feed and that is normal too. Unless the stool is hard and pellet like, you need not grow concerned. It is also normal to pass green stool or a combination of yellow stool. You have no reason to worry especially because the child is exclusively breast fed. Please continue it till 6 months of age.
If the child passes urine more than 6 times in 24 hours, it indicates that the feeds are adequate. If not, you need to increase the amount of breast feed.
Feel free to write back.
Regards


Glycerine suppository may be used
Detailed Answer:
You do not actually need to wait for 10 days. You may apply glycerine suppository (inserted through the anus) right now. It will help in clearing the stool that has been collected.
Regards
