Formula milk has its own problem like constipation. Better way stop it and give your own milk. Mother milk is always sufficient for own Baby. You can ask Medicine for increasing your own milk output. Other wise we don't have much to make constipation better. Or you will have to keep trying different different formula which suits your baby stomach. In India we don't have such formula. Abroad we do get special formula to avoid constipation
