Newborn not pooping since the last suppository, is it normal?

Dear Mummy Daddies, My newborn (2 months 20 days) has not been pooping for 6 days already. This is already her 3rd cycle (each cycle=7 days) and each cycle we had to give her lax suppository from the doc. Is there any reason or do we need to change milk powder? (We are giving her 60% breast milk / 40 for. Milk. ) #firstbaby #pleasehelp

Jumping in here as my LO had recurring constipation issue and I saw a PD who gave some helpful advice 1) look for GOS or FOS in formula milk - they are prebiotics which help baby digestion. I using nature one premium. 2) give your LO probiotics as well - can try vivomixx with vitamin D. Expensive but is quite effective as they have many strains of probiotics.
