What Causes Constipation After Taking Similac Baby Formula In A Child?
My daughter has a 3 week old baby, She was breast feeding but had problems with that so she switched to Similac baby formula. She loved it but became quite constipated. Should she change to another formula or is there something else she can take.

Hello Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Don't worry much. Stay calm.
your baby is adjusting new type of food. so motions can be irregular and can vary in texture.constipation on formula feed is very common because nothing can replace texture of breast feed because it is best suitable for intestinal wall of baby. exclusive breast feeding is necessary for child which will boost her immunity so try to breast feed her if possible. you can express your milk and can feed her even.
Hope this information helps you.
Best wishes.
