Baby constipation

Any tips. My 10 day old has been switched from BFing to formula and she seems constipated now. We do the bicycle kicks foot rub and tummy rub (as carefully as we can because she still has her umbilical cord stub). Any other things ppl would recommend to try and help her poop?

Gripe water!!!! Helped alot when we switched my daughter

Also try getting liquid formula instead of powder could be a sign she’s allergic(stomach problems ect.) to the formula . I had to switch my daughter to liquid cuz the powder tore her stomach up n would make her constipated

Gripe water is only recommended after 1 month old x

When we switched our baby over to formula, she seemed constipated as well. Our pediatrician said if doesn’t go within 7 days then a doctors visit is needed but if she doesn’t seem uncomfortable within the 7 days, then baby is okay.

Yep formula does constipate a lot of babies it’s got added fortified iron which is why they say breastmilk is the most easily digestible for babies…my first I tried so many and she was still constipated I gave up and went back to breastmilk albeit not mine, I got some from donor breastmilk Fb pages. She was on donor milk for a whole year.
