Similac Advance - Formula Question

Since our baby was born, she was breastfed, but needed a supplement. We continued using the formula we started on in the hospital - Similac Advance.

I was planning on taking him to the doctor but when I realized the formula was not the right one I wondered if this could be the cause of the constipation. I started him back on the similac advance today, I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens. BTW besides the formula everything I feed him is the same.
