I posted last month about my DD's battle with constipation. Under doctors orders, she's on a daily dose of Parachoc (stool softener) for 1-2 months to help alleviate her fear of pooing

I thought we were making some progress but she had yet another grunting, pushing, sweating session this morning all for nothing - she still hasn't done a poo. Admittedly, it's only been a few days and her last poo was firm but soft, IYKWIM, but it's all the grunting and straining which really worries me. We've had a few nights recently where it's kept her up at night too (a few nappy changes but only a tiny smear each time)

I think it's time we got a referral to her Paed. Its breaking my heart Number 2's just shouldn't be such a drama.

Thanks for reading. Any advice welcome (again)
