    It can range from $25-$35 depending on where you go. Its best to look around first. I pay $25 for mine.

    I live in a small country town. Things like that are normally very expensive. I paid $22 for a tin of s26.

    I'll see how much they'll charge me, and maybe I can get it in a bigger town for cheaper.

    Thanks again!

    i'm not sure how old your DD is but as BF babies get a bit older, they can go quite a long time between poos. my DS could go up to 6 days without doing a poo when he was younger - but when they hit you have a poosplosion of epic proportions!

    it could be the formula but they do go away from pooing every couple of hours to less often. if she's not straining to poo & it's not little pellets, then i didn't think it was actually constipation?

    I find s26 is quite prone to constipate bub.
    Maybe try a different formula.

    I found that my kids also got constipated on S26. Try Nan HA gold.

    DD1 would an 7-8 day between poo girl, she was topped up with S26 plain, and it was explosive runny poo, if her poos were forned or pellety I would say that she is constipated, but I am more of the thought that she is going into the occassional poosplosion phase.

    If you do try another I would suggest staying away from Gold formula's, our Paed recommended doing this as the extra iron can cause constipation as well.
