A little prune or apple prune in her bottle, 1 oz juice to 3 oz milk/formula.  Emily had been a constipated pooper since about the 3 week mark.  My pedi recomended the juice idea and it works wonders!  We actually give her once ounce of juice in her last bottle of the night every day. Now she take about 7 oz of formual, so we do 6 oz of wter 1 oz of juice.  This really has helped keep her regular.  She is a once a day pooper and I have noticed if we skip the juice the next day shes backed to being backed up again. 

Good Luck!

if you switched to formula and now she is constipated? its the formula obviously.. try the low iron kind. My daughter had nothing but problems after moving to formula.. hard blackish-green movements,.. hard pebbles.. she cried SO much! I was giving her mini emimas (Dr. recommended) and also used a thermometer to gently coax out ones that were just way too big for her to expel! Once i switched to low iron, things got much better!!! give that a try..
