My 53-day-old baby has started pooping less, once every 4-5 days. He exerts pressure and sometimes cries during this process, but only farts come out. These changes occurred after the vaccination at 1 and a half months. What can I do to help my breastfed baby poop daily? Please provide suggestions for a solution.

It is common for breastfed babies to have infrequent bowel movements, but if your baby is experiencing discomfort or straining without producing stool, there are steps you can take to help regulate their bowel movements. Firstly, ensure that your baby is getting enough breast milk by feeding on demand and allowing them to nurse as long as they want from each breast. Breast milk has natural laxative properties that aid in digestion. Additionally, try massaging your baby's tummy in a clockwise motion to stimulate bowel movement. Gently bicycling their legs or applying a warm compress to their abdomen may also help relieve constipation. If these methods don't work, consult with your pediatrician who may recommend using glycerin suppositories or other safe remedies specifically designed for infants. Remember that every baby is different, so it's important to find what works best for yours while keeping an open line of communication with your healthcare provider.

For an exclusively breast fed baby pooping once in every 3-7 days is definitely ok nothing to worry. 

The habit of pooping changes with age.. so it's coz he turned 1nd half months that he is pooping less it not because of vaccination. All i wanted to tell u is it's perfectly normal.. But see to it the poop should not be hard. , u should keep track that baby should not be constipated.  Drink lots of water keep yourself hydrated.. Your baby should be fine.
