Hi
you are correct!
The main cause of constipation in infants is inadequate intake.
Continue breast milk as much and as long as possible.
Nan,lactogen and all other formula milk are same.
They all make the stool hard.No point in changing the milk because of this!
Try to increase the volume of milk slowly
All the best
