Constipation Causing Formula

My daughter is almost a month and though I am mostly breastfeeding, I had to supplement with formula, to get her weight up. The problem is now she is constipated and I understand that the formula is the culprit. We are trying Kayro syrup, but so far it isn't helping. I am using Nestle Good Start Formula with Iron.
