5 week old unsettled after bowel movement

Hi
my ds seems to be really unsettled after having a poo. His bowels move every 2nd day and he has had trouble with constipation. I changed his milk from sma to cow and gate colic and constipation comfort milk. I tried breast feeding him but I couldn't fill him and I was up all night feeding him, I was exhausted and it was effecting my ability to care for my other son who is autistic. I'm giving him colief with every feed as he was really unsettled after every feed. We also had trouble getting his wind up but that seems to be getting better. We didn't have this experience with my eldest son so I'm looking for advice or any tips which may help the poor wee soul.
thanks

The advice I was given when mine were newborns, was to double and triple check that you've got the right amount of powder to water if you are using formula. Milk which is made up with too much powder can lead to constipation - although your DS sound pretty regular from what you say.
Sorry I don't have any other ideas.
