My pediatrician told me that it is fine. My daughter used to have bowel movements once every other day. When I asked the ped. about it she said all babies are different and some poop alot and some poop like every 5 days.She also said its fine as long as the babies tummy doesnt look huge and bloated.

Totally normal. As long as he's not straining to go - you know, turning red or grunting or arching his back.
His bowel habits are going to change a few more times before he's a year old. As long as they're not pouring out of him like fierce diarrhea or making him strain, it's all okay. What's "normal" for him this week, may not be next week or next month.

Yeah, this is normal. He may even go a few days in between soon. As long as he seems happy , not overly tired or cranky, I wouldn't worry.

Perfectly normal.

It is perfectly normal. As long as he is still eating well and not telling you (through crying, obviously) that he is uncomfortable then you have nothing to worry about.
