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.
