Formula milk

Hi mums! My son is a breastfed baby but due to a supply dip, I've started mixed feeding. When he was on full BM, he would poop once every 3-4 days. However, ever since we tried his first formula (Enfamil Pro A+) two weeks ago, his pooping freq got worse. Now he could go 7 days without pooping and we had to use a suppository to get him to poop on the 8th day. I don't want to keep doing this and I am pretty sure it's not healthy for him. Is his stomach still getting used to the formula milk? Or is he showing signs that his stomach is not handling this brand so well? Should I change and if so, which brand is easy to digest? Thanks for you help mums 🙏🙏

when u started to change BM to formula baby poop will also change.. My both babies(now teen)had the problem before.. What i did is i cut off 1 scoop milk powder meaning is 3 scoops of milk powder and the water level is 90ml so u do 2 scoops milk powder & water level is also 90ml something like this (this is recommanded by my doctor so parents pls chill) or u can try to change the milk if yr baby still poop the same..
