Hi,
Thanks and welcome to HCM .
When you change the formula, there will be some change in the consistency and frequency of stools.
Babies fed on formula usually pass more solid stools than breastfed infants.
Also solid stools are difficult to pass and cause some inconvenience to the baby.
Baby may also have 3 months colick during this age.
You may try Colimex-DF 5 drops 3-4 times daily.
Hope this reply serves your purpose.
