While he is truing to poop lay him on his back and put his knees up and push in on his butt cheeks. We used to have to help a baby at the day care poop and that helped her a lot

Might be the formula. Does it have added iron?  For long term try changing the formula to a lower iron one ( if it does have iron). Another issue could maybe the baby needing soy formula. Sometimes the lactose in the milk based formula causes constipation.  I had to give my daughter a portion of a glycerin suppository to help get.  But Idk if you can give it that small. Check again with the pediatrician.
