Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
In infants constipation is passing hard stools.They can pass one stool in 7 days or 6-7 stools in a day.Both the things are absolutely normal.Gas formation occurs in 100% babies in first three months.So your baby is absolutely normal.Don't put suppository on 4 th day of not passing stool
Happy to help you
Best regards
