HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The milk coming out of his nose is because there is a link between the mouth and the nasal passage, it does not mean that there is any problem with in.
If there is only one day with no bowel movement then you can monitor for at least another day unless he is in distress.
If it continues then you should take him to his doctor for assessment.
I hope this helps
