Hello. Thanks for your query. If you are breastfeeding your baby it is normal for babies to not have a bowel movement even for 10 days. If his tummy feel soft and if he is not cranky or fussy then you should not worry. Anyway you can try some pear or plum juice. If you are breastfeeding your baby consider putting some plums, kiwis or Zucchinis. These foods are natural laxative and will pas through your breast milk to baby. Also, tummy massages are known to help with this condition.
