Generally when babies are started on topup feeds(nanpro) they tend to have more constipation & hence stomach may feel hard.
But it is of less concern if the baby is gaining adequate weight.
Next Steps
encourage more breast feeding.
Health Tips
reduce nanpro feeds ...
if the baby has not passed stools for more than a week , consult a pediatrician directly.
