It really depends on whether the baby is fed formula or breastmilk. Breastfed babies tend to have more frequent, seedy watery stools. Formula fed children have a mushier consistency and darker color ( light brown to dark green). 5 days without a bowel movement is pretty long. I would bring this up to my pediatrician. If your son is formula fed, you may need to change the formula.
