Hiya honey! Hope you are ok.

Sally advised me to give Maddy Malt extract for her constipation. She said you had recommended it after being advised to use it by a midwife in Norway. Can you tell me how often I should give it to her please? I gave her a teaspoon in her bottle last night and she has had 'movement' today! Lol

Thankyou!!

    Sorry just seen this!

    My hv said to give no more than about 1 teaspoon a day so I used to put about 1/4 teaspoon in per bottle across the day. Just depends on how bad they are really. I don't think it will do any harm to give more at this age, just when they are younger may be a bit much for them.

    Glad it got things moving anyway lol! x

    Oops.. I put the teaspoon full in one bottle!! Might be why her tummy was so grumbly that night!! Lol

    It did the trick a treat though so, I will start putting a little bit in each bottle, see how we fare. Thank you so much honey!!
