What kind of formula do you like? I've only ever used similac advance, but am curious if other brands/types might be easier on my baby to digest? He only has a "movement" every couple of days and I think it makes him uncomfortable..

It is normal for baby's this small to only go every couple days. Doc's don't even worry about it until they haven't gone for about 7 days.

Of prune juice and it worked she also told me to put alittle karo syrup in with his formula but the prune juice will help and he'll feel much better I hope that this helps and good luck

i did switch one of mine from similac adv. to alimentum due to gassiness and constipation. alimentum adv. w/iron is much more expensive and a smaller can, but helped tremendously.
remember, when you switch you have to give a few weeks for the body to adjust to the new formula and to see if it works. i have also heard nestle good start is very good for babies too, but i did not try that one
good luck
