Please never change formula feeds children don't like chage. Each has unique taste.
Now just feed what ever you feel better.just continue the feeds.offer Hydration, Give sweet lime juice to develop taste and appetite. Add banana.Issue of contipation will be over.otherwise add sorbiline 1tsf once day.

All formula lead to digestion issues and sometimes reduced appetite. Please mention weight. If weight is ok, nothing to worry about the appetite issue. She will start taking feeds again after a few days. Start weaning foods early at 5 months of age so dependency on formula will reduce.

If possible start breast milk
That is important for baby’s brain growth and gives immunity
See to that if the baby is voiding clear urine 6 to 8 times per day and active
If not consult a paediatrician
