My ds was never regular, she even had a dose of lactulose once a day for 2 months and she still only wnet every 3-4 days. Eventually they gave up and said it just mest be her- fortunatley solids have sorted her out.
Are you breast feeding or formula? I know nutriprem is notorious for causing constipation and irregular bowell movements mainly because it is so concentrated and full of good stuff there is little waste.
If all else fails go out without a changing bag - always does the trick!!!!
Congratulations on bringing your girls home, enjoy - mine is 16months now and it seems like yesterday we got her home xx

Hey ladies
Wow, third day of having my girls home

Wanted to ask a question. Neither Amelia or Felicity have opened their bowels since they came home. I have called the SCBU and they've said to call back tomorrow if they've still not been (will be over 72 hours then). Did this happen when you brought your lo back home - and if so, when did they finally "go"?!?! Just a little worried!!
Em x





Thanks ladies
Amelia went this afternoon, thank goodness, and I think Felicity will follow suit pretty soon
