My LO had one meconium on the first day, then a weird poop on the second (dark brown but not tar like) and then from the third day it was normal.

Frankie was 10 days old when he did his first poop. We were referred to hospital as he hadn't pooed and had been loosing a lot of his birth weight. Doc advised me to give him a bottle of formula as it is denser than breast milk and might just trigger his bowels. Lo and behold, 30 minutes later we had a very dirty nappy!!!
