So formula feeds tend to cause constipation but does your child cry while passing motion or passed really hard stools? If yes only then we need to treat otherwise passing stools once in 4 5 days isn't constipation.
There r no formulas which can be replaced almost all of them are essentially same.
No cows milk upto 1 and half to 2 years of age.
Outside complimentary foods to be started after 6 months of age.
