The baby is two weeks old and has been formula-fed, resulting in consistently dry stools. Initially, the baby was on Wyeth formula and hadn’t pooped for a day and a half. Now, the formula has been changed. It was normal last week with one bowel movement a day. Recently, there hasn’t been any bowel movement all day.
