ds2 is 8 weeks old and is constipated. saw gp fri who gave lactulose, i then realised it had lactose in it which he is intolerant to so rangback and e advised give him melted brown sugar. this worked fri pm,then by sun he hadnt gone and was in alot of pain so i gave more sugar sun. saw paed mon (ds has reflux probs) who gave him docusol which actually says on label over 6 months but she said its ok and said give 1ml twice a day and up to 2.5ml if needed (on label its 2.5ml for 6 month old)gave him 1ml mon pm and nothing happened and through night still in pain so tues am increased to 2.5 and he then had very watery poo. that worried me so this am gave him 1.5ml trying to find right amount for him and nothing happened. again bad am with him trying to poo n pain o gave sugar bout hour and half ago and he did one big poo but hard (bout inch and half long sorry tmi) is this normal? dont know if i should ring doc or if takes a while??
