Exclamation Constipated baby--advice needed

I have a little almost 3 week old bottle baby. He acted all day like he just didnt feel well. Hes on formula but only taking like half his normal amount. I was going to give him an enema tonite but he started poopin little hard berries.Lots of them, lol. Now its back to regular milk poo, but hes still not wanting to take much of his night bottle. Do you think i should still give him an enema or just leave him be until morning and let him rest?

What exactly is he eating?

It sounds like he's pooping normally now so would hesitate to give him anything.
