Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi
Welcome to the HCM

I completely understand your concerns but don't worry. Infants can have wide variations in frequency, consistency and colour of poops. The most common reason for hard stools is dehydration or concentrated formula feeds.

I would recommend you to try for exclusive breastfeeding as it is easier to digest and good in long term. In case you have to continue formula feeds, then give with proper constitution and hygiene. Ensure regular feeds to avoid dehydration.

Hopefully this will help. I would be happy to help you out in any future health related questions.

Take care
