Constipation,green and hard stool
So my baby just completed her 2month and the only pblm I'm facing is constipation. She used to do potty daily in initial days but like from past 20-25days it is like after 3-4 days she had to pressurize herself to pass stool and it makes her uncomfortable too.
I know every doctor said if infants doesn't poop for 4-5 days that's okay, urination matter.
I'm breastfeeding her along with formula ENFAMIL.
Formula feed 3-4times a day 90-120ml,apart from this she Breastfeed.
So my concern is
CONSTIPATION
GREEN STOOL(initial it is green then yellowish come)
HARD STOOL (initial it comes hard then normal)
Is this because of ENFAMIL as it contains iron what do you suggest.

Constipation is most likely due to formula. Try to give as less as possible. Stopping formula is ideal. Meet a lactation consultant about increasing breast milk output. All the symptoms are due to formula. If child is uncomfortable, give glycerine child suppository.

Hi.
Green stool is due to formula.
Straining to pass stools and passing stool once in 6-8 days is normal
