Sorry if this is long winded but can anyone help.
I am having huge a problem getting my 13 mth old DD to drink any water/juice at all. She has been badly constipated for the last week and the doctor prescribed a micro enema and lactulose and told us to push fluids. We cannot get her to drink anything and what does go in she immediately spits out....I am only breast feeding last thing at night as am back to work...today she has refused all water and milk, and is now having trouble passing poo, I am so worried....any ideas?

I have started breastfeeding her more during the day...unfortunately today she had to have another enema . Ice lollies where a bit more successful, hopefully things will get better

Jelly is a good one... a pint of jelly (not saying you should give her that much!!) contains a pint of water
