Hi,
I understand your concern.
It is common for babies to suffer of constipation at your baby's age (2 months old).
If you're still breastfeeding, you should make some changes in your diet. This will help your daughter ease constipation and have regular bowel movements (bm).
With regards to formula milk, should choose the one hypoallergenic and see what effects it gives to your baby's stool.
Give water to your baby. Warm bathing can help ease bm.
Hope this helps.
