Fully formula fed newborn hasn't pooped in 48 hours

My newborn (5 Weeks) old hasn't pooped in 48 hours, she is feeding well but I can see she is trying to poop but unable to, she farts a lot but not pooping. Is this normal? How long can newborn go without pooping. Should I see a doctor? TIA for your help!

Got a bun in the oven

Normal. My NB poops every 3 days. He starts pooping everyday when he reach 6mths after starting solids. Im worried at first too but PD said as long as Baby poop is not hard or dry or baby is not straining. Its normal.
