Formula question

My LO was EBF for about the first 2 months and then I decided to start supplementing with formula when we would go out because I could not pump enough to make a full bottle for her. I started with Earths best organic formula but noticed when i would give it to her she would spit up and not poop for a few days. She didn't seem to be in pain so I don't know If she is constipated or if it's just a coincidence or if that is normal when you start supplementing with formula. I just switched her to similac advanced yesterday. She only gets maybe one bottle of formula a day depending on if we have errands to run. She didn't poop yesterday should I wait to feed her formula again until she poops? It's never been hard or pellet like after not pooping for a few days but it always worries me when she doesn't go for a few days. I know try say its "normal" for EBF babies but what about babies that get 1 bottle of formula a day...

    DS gets random bottles of formula (meaning, when my mom babysits and I don't' have any pumped BM ready) and I've been doing solids for about a week now and the rice cereal is mixed with formula. He's still a once a week pooper. My pedi says as long as he isn't straining/un comfortable and the consistency is the same, then it's normal. But if I were worried, I'd still call my own just to verify!

    Mine poop every 2-3 days and the consistency changes each time. Just when I think they've developed a pattern on something they switch it up. It seems like in regards to eating, sleeping, and pooping their "normal" is that everything changes constantly :)

    I EBF for the frst 6-7 weeks, then we started to supplement with formula and over a weeks time we started EFF.  At first she didn't poop for 5 days, but over a couple of weeks, she started to get back to once a day or every other day.
