It is a common problem and you dont need to worry. Formula fed children often get constipated. The things you should check is proper preparation of the formula. I scoop of nan should be added to 30 ml of water. If this concentration is not mentioned then there is increased chance of constipation. Also as he has crossed 6 months start to give him semisolid foods like cerelac and home made smashed food. For temporary relief give glycerine suppository and bowel movements will normalise.
