Hi there! It's totally normal for babies who are formula-fed to have different poop schedules compared to breastfed babies. It sounds like your baby is feeding well and not cranky, which are great signs that they're doing just fine. If your baby is not having any issues like discomfort or pain when pooping, then it might just be their normal pattern. However, if you're still concerned, here are some things you can try: 1. Tummy massage: Gently massaging your baby's tummy in a clockwise motion can help stimulate their digestive system and encourage bowel movements. 2. Warm bath: A warm bath can also help relax your baby's muscles and possibly stimulate a bowel movement. 3. Bicycle legs: Lay your baby on their back and gently move their legs in a cycling motion. This can help relieve any gas or constipation. 4. Talk to your pediatrician: If you're still worried about your baby's poop schedule, it's always best to consult your pediatrician. They can provide personalized advice and rule out any underlying issues. Remember, every baby is different, and as long as your baby is happy, feeding well, and gaining weight, they're likely doing just fine. Hang in there, mama! You're doing a great job. https://invl.io/cll6she
