Suggest A Remedy For Irregular Bowel Movements

Hi, my baby is 3 and 1/2 months old and is on both Breast milk and Formula Milk (Nan pro). He drinks formula milk during the day and night he drinks breast milk. He doesnt pass motion regularly. He passes motion only once in 3 days. The motion is not hard - its smooth and like a paste. However until he passes motion, he is not active and he seems restless. Is there any way to regularize his motion. I tried feeding him water and also I add sugar to the formula milk. When he was fully on breast milk, he used to pass motion atleast 2 or times in a day. Since the breast milk was not sufficient, i had to add formula milk as well. Kindly help me out
