Ah, don't worry lah, once every 2 to 3 days is actually quite normal for formula-fed babies, especially as they get older. A lot of mums I know found that their babies settled into this rhythm after the newborn stage, and as long as the poop is soft and your baby seems comfortable (not straining or in pain), it's usually nothing to fuss about. The thing is, formula can be a bit more binding than breastmilk, so the frequency naturally slows down compared to exclusively breastfed babies.
That said, what matters most is consistency, whether it's every day or every few days, as long as it stays regular for your baby and the texture looks normal, you're good. If you notice any sudden changes, hard stools, or your baby seems uncomfortable or bloated, then it's worth flagging with your paediatrician just to be safe. But from what I've seen with other mums' babies on Dulac, this pattern is pretty common and nothing to stress over.
Of course, do mention it to your baby's doctor at the next check-up just so they can confirm everything is on track for your little one!
