"Over the weekend, baby was constipated and fussy and mom assumed it was her diet. ... Mom stopped nursing for two days (pumped and dumped) and gave formula. Baby stooled 3-4 times a day. Mom has started back to nursing this am so we have yet to see what the effect will be on stooling." Someone else will probably mention this: but, what is her definition of constipation - failure to stool, or hard stools? Until she started solids at 6 months, my exclusively BF daughter stooled once every 4 days or so. I wasn't worried about it (and neither was her pedi) because it was soft and typically BF stool. Except that it was a HUGE amount guaranteed to soak through her clothes.
