Our baby is 7 weeks old, and he is not pooping regularly when breastfed, but while consuming formula, he poops a lot immediately. Is it something to be worried about?

A. No maybe with the formula feed the tummy is more full which is why the child is pooping for it is very normal for a child to have constipation it doesn’t matter whether the child is having breastfeeding or formula feeding so in general also this is a normal scenario that you are seeing

Q. My baby is 2 weeks old and on a mix diet of breastmilk and formula. But I give her formula once or twice a day only. But her pooping has been inconsistent. She poops after 3-4 days only and it's normal and seedy. She pees multiple times a day. But why isn't she pooping regularly like all breastfed babies? Can I include anything in my diet to make this happen? I am not taking caffeine or outside food. Please suggest.
