What effect does soy formula have on a baby’s bowel movement?
If you’re looking to soy formula to fix your baby’s fussiness, you may wind up needing a fix for firm stool. Some parents have described mild constipation in babies on soy formula. If you find your baby straining more than normal, try supplementing your baby with one to two teaspoons of dark Karo syrup (found in your grocery store) mixed in three or four ounces of water twice daily.
