What should I do if my baby has a bowel movement only every seven or eight days after the full moon?

Patient's question:

The baby has been having bowel movements every seven to eight days since the full moon. Now at three months, the stool is yellow and slightly sticky, and each time a lot is passed. The bowel movement is normal, but it has a slightly sour smell. The baby is breastfed, and (probiotics) have been given many times without improvement. Water is given once a day in the afternoon, with each serving being ten milliliters. Is this normal? Is it constipation? The height and weight are normal, and the baby is eating well.
