4mo norovirus now constipated

Hi all,

We all had a D&V bug last week. Suspect by quick onset, unpleasantness and quick stopping that it was norovirus.

DD (4m) now seems uncomfortable when trying to poo - she cries and strains really hard and it is much, much more solid than before (but not like pellets or anything). She's also more fussy at the bottle and still a bit more sicky. She is FF only on regular Aptamil (1).

I rang the doctor to ask for advice and we have an appointment today. Just wondering if anyone has any experience, tips etc? I did read somewhere about temporary lactose intolerance... just thinking what to ask for.

We haven't started weaning yet but I was even wondering if she needs diluted apple juice or something to loosen things up.

Any advice would be most appreciated.
