Brief Answer:
It's normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.

A 2 month baby may pass stool once in 5 days, this is a normal thing unless child is crying.

If child is not crying then nothing needs to be done.

If child is crying, then you should give Simethicone drops like Colicaid drops 4 drops three times a day for 2 days.

I hope this will help you.
Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
