Although a slight reduction in weight us seen during first few days of the month, but because you are reporting constipation, it means the baby is not getting enough feed on breast. Please check it and if there is some problem with suckling action of the child, or you are not generating enough milk. Supplement milk from external source to meet the child's need.
