Weaning to a open-: Mouth cup ; limiting milk and milk products to 16-21 oz./day will prevent further episodes of constipation, but your toddler may need treatment for this episode. Ad-lib use of a bottle or sippee cup containing milk or juice cuts appetite for solid food ; increases risk of dental caries.

Constipation : Cows milk sensitivity could certainly cause constipation and any change in concentration would not make any difference. If no problems with the previous formula you can go back to it also alternative may be almond milk as well
