Stop this formula milk. You have not named the milk otherwise I may be able to add some good alternative. But don't worry his Pediatrician will help you with that.
Pasteurized Karo Syrup (OR Prune Juice) are good for his issues. Add anyone of them to the diet whenever constipated. When he starts his 2nd foods, you may add Prunes food too .
