    constipation

    How you unconstipate your formula baby? And how long do you leave them till you do?

    How old is your bub?
    If your worried about him being constipated you should generally check with your GP in smaller bubs and ask what you can try, sometimes while in a nice warm bath lay him down and push his knees up towards his belly, afterwards go into a nice warm room and give him a belly massage and push his knees up (obviously gently) which can help bowel movements.
    I'm assuming bub is only little (according to your ticker) so obviously giving foods wont help so if the massage and warm baths don't work i'd check with your GP.

    They should be pooing every day JB, and it should be soft/liquidy. It's best to follow up with medical advice if you can't get things moving quickly.
    Hope he poos soon
