10 Best Formula for Constipation Singapore 2023
Breastfed babies go to the bathroom more frequently than formula-fed newborns because breast milk is easier to digest. Breastfed babies, however, may begin to have fewer bowel movements at 3–6 weeks of age, often only one or two per week. The majority of formula-fed babies continue to have daily BMs.
If your baby’s stool (poop) is soft, he or she is probably not constipated, regardless of how frequently the bowel movements occur or if your baby strains to pass them.
Babies who cry when they poop or have hard or pebble-like poop may be constipated. If this is the case, consult your doctor about giving your infant extra water or a small amount of 100% fruit juice to soften hard stool. Never give your baby laxatives, suppositories, or enemas without doctor’s permission.
Call the doctor if your baby’s symptoms don’t get better. Call right away if your little one has:
- vomiting

Types of Milk Formula for Constipation
1. Protein Hydrolysate Formula
In all standard formulations, the protein is not processed at all. They’re exactly the same size as when they first came from the cow which may cause constipation in some babies.
Protein hydrolysate formulas are meant for babies who don't tolerate cow's milk or soy-based formulas.
This type of formula are nutritionally the same as standard formula milk, but it contains protein that's been broken down (hydrolyzed) — partially or extensively — into smaller sizes than are those in cow's milk.

2. A2 Milk Formula
Researchers believe that A2 is the more natural variant of beta casein. Some studies found that people who only drank milk from cows that produce A2 milk had less bloating and indigestion, leading some to believe that A2 milk is a healthier alternative to regular milk.
3. Goat Milk Formula
Goat Milk formula may be a better formula for children with constipation; this is because goat formula contains high levels of prebiotic oligosaccharides.Moreover, It’s possible that goat milk is easier on the stomach. This is because goat milk has fewer micro-proteins than cow milk, which makes it easier for certain people to digest.
Parents can change their child’s formula from cow’s milk to goat’s milk, however, during the transition, your child may experience certain side effects. And if your children have just stopped breastfeeding and you choose to give them goat’s milk, best to do it under doctor’s supervision.
