Formula milk

Hi mums! My son is a breastfed baby but due to a supply dip, I've started mixed feeding. When he was on full BM, he would poop once every 3-4 days. However, ever since we tried his first formula (Enfamil Pro A+) two weeks ago, his pooping freq got worse. Now he could go 7 days without pooping and we had to use a suppository to get him to poop on the 8th day. I don't want to keep doing this and I am pretty sure it's not healthy for him. Is his stomach still getting used to the formula milk? Or is he showing signs that his stomach is not handling this brand so well? Should I change and if so, which brand is easy to digest? Thanks for you help mums 🙏🙏

hi mummy, u might wanna try Lactogen. it's good for digestion and less sweet compare to other brands, it's closer in taste with breast milk too (seen from advertise) I switch my number 4 from breast milk to Lactogen after trying out different type of milk. note that if u r feeding at 90ml, u put water at 90ml first then add powder. don't get the sequence wrong n end up thickening the fm.
