    Lactulose you get at the chemist. There's a few different brand names. I've just remembered that they were a little bit funny about selling it to me for Sam, so they may not be happy about you using it for Miss S.

    It might be worth seeing a doctor or something. Does she seem uncomfortable? Olive's suggestion of a growth spurt seems quite reasonable too.

    Hun we went 11 days here once. With fully bf bubs I believe 3 weeks is the upper limit. In fact I think I read that somewhere in the ABA website and my GP who is also a LC confirmed it. I wouldn't give her prune juice it may just upset her tummy. If she isn't seeming constipated and seems content I'd let her go a little longer before trying anything else. You can always try cycling her legs and gentle tummy massage in a clockwise direction.
