Constipation ?: Formula fed babies usually have a predictable pattern of daily stools. Babies have weak belly muscles & strain using their breathing muscle to assist pooping. They often make noise & their belly gets hard in the process. If it is soft when they go it is not constipation. If hard you can use full strength prune juice 1oz 1-3X/d spaced out which loosens in a few days.
