my baby's got constipation

[alapeg]

my baby's coming up 4 months old and for the last few weeks (since her 3 month growth spurt)have been giving her formula bottles as top ups aswell as breast feeding. I felt as though she needed more than what I was supplying and her weight gain wasn't brilliant. Now she's gaining well and seems to love her bottle but suffers with very bad stomach aches. She's still being able to go to the toilet though. I thought that it would've only been a few days of this but there seems to be no end, can anyone suggest anything?

if she is actually going then thats good. ds got bunged up and the sugar water trick worked.
i found gripe water cured most tummy probs. this also helps shift a blockage.

yeah, I have to say that gripe water does help her, I suppose I didn't think that i'd be using it as regularly as I am. I always thought that it would settle down quite quickly, when her system got used to it.

it may take her a bit longer to adjust as formula is thicker/harder to digest, not sure how to describe it.
if it has only been a couple of days (i know its horrid to see them uncomfortable, ds had colic from 3 to 6 months) try not to worry and keep up the gw and just comfort her best you can.
if it goes on and on maybe see if hv has any suggestions?
im sure someone else with more experience than me will post soon!

this is my first time on mumsnet and I really appreciate your helpful comments!

i think most may have gone to bed now!!
i cant remember much else of when ds was that little as the colic just fogs my memory!!
he is only 1, how bad is that?!
