Hi.... I think your kid is having constipation due to the top feeding. It is usual for many babies to be having constipation while on top feeding. At his age you should treat constipation only if the baby doesn't pass motion continuously for 7 days consistently. if possible shift over t0o exculsive breast feeding till 6 months of age. This will help a lot.
