As title suggests-
DD is four weeks old and has had constipation since about 3 days old. I changed from Aptamil to Hipp about two weeks ago so I am reluctant to change again unless absolutely necessary.
GP has prescribed lactulose but DD remains constipated (in fact she has only done a poo on average every 3 days and thats after I have applied a vasiline tipped cotton bud to her bottom)
The HV isnt keen for DD to have lactulose everyday and suggested changing to a comfort milk- ive looked on internet and read stories about it actually making constipation worse??
any advice?
