Pooping

My 10 week old hasn’t pooped in 4 days. Do you have any recommendations as to how I can hell him poop. He is bottle fed and doesn’t seem uncomfortable and isn’t crying and isn’t really bloated. I have tried tummy massages and bicycle kicks and also tried giving him a warm bath this evening

Aptamil 2

Hey everyone, So my baby is 6 months so we’ve moved onto the Aptamil 2 but she’s been so sick on it. She’s not a sicky baby at all. Does anyone know the difference between Aptamil 1 and 2 and do we actually have to change? My health visitor didn’t have a clue when I asked her. Thank you 😀
