If a 2-month-old baby doesn't poop for how many hours?

The bowel pattern in a 2-month-old baby is quite variable, especially if exclusively breastfed. Some breastfed babies poop after every feeding, while others can go 3–5 days, even up to 7 days without pooping. This occurs because the baby almost completely digests breast milk and leaves little waste—and if the baby is comfortable, the belly is not bloated, gas can be passed, and appetite is normal, this is usually not a problem.
In formula-fed babies, the situation is slightly different: they typically poop 1–3 times daily, and delays beyond 2 days increase the likelihood of constipation. If the baby's stool is hard, lumpy, and painful, consult a pediatrician.
Short answer: A 2-month-old baby, especially if breastfed, can go up to 7 days without pooping. General rule: if the baby is comfortable and eating well, wait; if it exceeds 7 days or the baby is uncomfortable, belly is hard, or vomiting occurs, pediatric evaluation is needed.
