Should Infant's Inconsistent Bowels While Being Fed On Formula Food Cause Worry?
I have a 9.5 week infant exclusively formula fed. Takes between 25-30 oz in a 24 hr period. Last good bowel movement was 3 days ago. Yesterday had a small bowel movement normal consistancy. Able to pass gas normally. Is trying to move his bowels but seems not to be able too. Should I be concerned?

There is no cause for concern as long as he is accepting feeds well and there is no distension of abdomen. Do not be worried about anything.
Take care
