HI

YOU ARE DOING ALL YOU CAN, JUST NEED A LITTLE PATIENCE,THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT IT ISNT ANNOYING YOUR LITTLE BOY, IF SO TAKE HIM BACK TO YOUR DR, YOU COULD TRY SOME WARM WATER AND KEEP HIM WELL HYDRATED.
I FOUND WITH MY TWO IF THEY ATE TOO MANY YOGURTS THEY WOULD BECOME CONSTIPATED, HAVE A LITTLE THINK ABOUT HIS DIET, I KNOW I HAD TO RESTRICT YOGURT TO EVERY OTHER DAY.

HOPE THIS HELPS

The cow's milk thing is interesting - we've only started introducing dairy products into his diet fairly recently - I was worried about a potential allergy because of a small rash but paed (allergy spec) said to give him dairy as normal.

He's not keen on yoghurts or milk, but have been able to get some cheese in him and some formula with his cereal. Although he's always suffered from constipation, it is worse now than ever - do you think this could be why?

BBF - wibbly pig is indeed the pig!!

when dd first went onto dairy she was constipated. It wasn't until she was weaned properly that it started to improve. Now if she has too much dairy she bungs up again.
