Hi,
My 1 mth old baby seems to be having a very mild case of constipation. She grunts alot when she is passing motion (sometimes she seems on the verge of tears!), and the stool has the consistency that is toothpaste-like, instead of soft and slightly watery, which is supposed to be the norm. And she only moves her bowels maximum twice a day. Any advice on whether this is normal, and if not, what do I need to do to make her less constipated? Btw, she is almost fully on formula milk (she is breatfed only once a day) and she takes Enfalac A-plus. I plan to stop breastfeeding her completely very soon, as my milk supply is going down very fast.
