A:A formula feed takes a little longer to pass through your baby's system,so it's normal for the frequency and consistency of her poo to change.It'll usually be a different colour and more solid than when you where breastfeeding her.She'll poo less often too - every one to three days is fairly typical.
This takes a little getting used to on her part,so keep an eye on her to make sure she's not constipated.If she is,try a warm bath and some gentle massage in a clockwise swirl on her tummy and back to encourage bowel movement.You could join a baby massage class to learn the techniques.A little warm water can also stimulate the bowel,so you could offer her some between feeds,but never add extra water to her formula milk.
