Ok Smithy - this author says to try this after you have tried extra water (which you have). She also says to make sure you are making the formula correctly, ie water first then add the powder.
Then she says don't do this for more than 24 hours - one small teaspoon of sugar to each bottle of formula until bubs does a good poo. When she poos, stop the sugar. she says bubs should poo pretty quickly cos it stimulates the bowel and is better than other medications.
She said if it is a crisis, then may need a suppository....you would obviously need to see a doc to do this.
After you sort this prob out you probably need to chat to someone about how to prevent it.
What is the reason she is on the thickened formula?? Also, some of the formulas are iron fortified and iron can bind little babies up.
