Amy, my eldest, used to suffer terrible constipation as a baby & we tried everything including lactulose but the best thing we found for keeping her regular & her motions softer was prune juice. I used to mix a tablespoon into her breakfast in the morning (or you could dilute it with water for hr drink) & she never looked behind her since. I actually give Zara some too even though she doesnt suffer much from constipation but I just feel it helps to prevent the constipation.
Good luck & hope Daisys ok xx
Ella gets blood in her pooh from time to time too. The doc says that as long as its fresh/ bright red and only spots then not to worry too much unless its constant/ every time.
Maybe a side effect of some of the meds or as you say a small tear.
How is daisy doing on the meds? Ella seems to be getting a little better. Sometimes I have to give ella a little cooled boiled water and that seems to settle her sometimes.
Thats the meds taken just over a week to work for Ella. She had them up'd from 0.3ml of ranitidine to 0.4ml. We have also had to put Ella on her side to sleep since about 6weeks. It's the only way she will sleep and has been starting to sleep for 10 hours a night lately. We just put towels round her at each side to support her. Not sure how you feel about doing that as everyone says that putting them on their backs is best. Ella manages fine though and settles straight away.
I had reiki done when I was preggers and found it worked wonders for me. Really settled me and helped me sleep. Fingers crossed that something works soon.
