It seems I have a baby who doesn't like to poo. He's formula fed, so should be pooing much more frequently than he is... The longest we've gone is 5 days without a poo, and so far it's been since Friday.

Thing is... he's not constipated. When he does poo it's sloppy, not hard and pellety as you would expect with constipation. He just doesn't seem to want to poo at all.

We give him cooled boiled water regularly, so it's not that he's dehydrated.

He's on Nan HA formula, and switching formulas isn't an option. He needs a HA formula and the karicare HA (the only other one I've seen) gave him incredibly stinky yellow diarrhea. We're talking 10-12 fluoro yellow poos each day and farting constantly and it was so stinky we were embarrassed to take him anywhere. Do I really have to live with one extreme or the other?

The paed suggested we give him watered down prune juice... But I feel a little funny about it as he's not constipated, he just won't poo.

If he was a breastfed baby, we wouldn't have a problem!

Help!
