Certain brands of formula milk can cause intolerance and constipation in kids. As a first-line management, you can try lactulose drops for symptomatic relief.
You can change to another brand and see whether constipation persists or not. It constipation persists, conditions like hypothyroidism must be ruled out.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
