Hi,
Formula feeds can sometimes cause constipation and indigestion.
You can consult your pediatrician and consider bowel soothing and laxative drops like Bonnisan and Lactulose.
Nothing much to worry as it will settle by conservative measures.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
