pooping question

My son is now on a diet of about 80% formula and 20% breast milk, and he has just started to have difficulty with his pooping. He's been on the Target brand of Enfamil Gentlease Lipil for about a month now. Over the past week and a half, he grunts, groans, and seems to be very uncomfortable at times. I don't know if he's trying to poop or what. He's pooped 3 times this week, but then today it was not soft as usual. Should I try a different type of formula or just wait to see if this passes? Also, does anyone know of a generic brand formula that is similar to Carnation Good Start? Thanks

  • Try a lot more breastmilk. You can make more milk by breastfeeding more or pumping more. Even 24-48 hours of increased breastfeeding or pumping could bring in a full supply.
