Constipation after formula intake
I have 1.5month old daughter who was detected lactose intolerance some days after birth so the doc asked me to introduce zerolac powder alternative after bf as she was also having dysentery type potty. Whenever I start giving her zerolac formula even once daily her potty gets delayed for one or two days because of which she gets very irritated and fussy. From last two days she has not done potty but tries very hard to push. Does zerolac causes constipation? Can I have another brand that she can tolerate.

Are you giving mixed feeding breast milk with xerolac powder? This leads to change in gut flora and later to such problems . Connect over a video consultation . Thank you.
