1 Month Old Baby Girl, Does Not Poop Enough? Young

1 month old baby girl, does not poop enough? Young Mom 19. Alternates between breast feeding and Similac Advance (powder) as the Hospital suggested/provided. This week she tried Similac Non-GMO (powder). She is very consistent with the 2oz of water suggested by the Hospital and the Labels. Baby Still Hungry after breast fed and also Bottle fed. And, was NOT pooping. Too young for Water. Gets hiccups regularly. Little Remedies - Gripe Water drops for her Age, were given by Granny todaay: Stopped Hiccups, then after 3rd feeding today, she started to Poop! Very hard time doing so. Soaked bottom in Warm Baby Cetaphil Bath lotion-Water, in her baby tub (only bottom half, with feet over rim of Tub). Helped straining, but, Baby felt warm, and Flushed while trying to poop. As poop came out, greenish shade, and hardened. when done, Baby was exhausted. Wanted to sleep. Was coherent, and burped once more on Granny's shoulder. Massaged tummy and back, as had before the pooping. Finished bird-bath, and changed clothing. Propped onto Long pillow to elevate bottom and head. Will take temp when awakens. Mom called Dr, they were not helpful so far. Do we need to Change the Formula, or ONLY Breastfeed? Neither seem to agree with her so far, for regularity...
