    You're welcome......I'm just thinking too, a nice warm bath might help her pain and/or a warm face washer on her tummy to ease any pain. Poor little Charlie.

    neptune you just a sweet heart hun thanks for thinking of my girl when your a busy mummy your self.
    charlie is doing a lot better today she even did another pooy through the night and it was a lot softer so this morning at 7 am i went off to the shop and got brown sugar and shes had a big drink of that in her water,then dh went to chat to the pharmacist and he has strongly recomended we stay on the thickened formula and he also gave him some coloxyl drops to put into the bottles, so im feeling lots beeter and i guess time will tell in the next 24hrs,i couldnt sleep last night just worrying about this as i just couldnt handle her having to do another one of them poos .
    thanks so much for all your help and support hun truely means a lot

    Smithy oh hun that is just awful, Linc has the opposite and is screaming too. But that's the antibiotics. When did you last see your GP maybe it's time so glad things are better this morning.

    Thanks for your thoughts Lenny

    Grub I agrea re before they cry and at this age it's not going to "spoil" them. I've been doing that with Linc I think that's why the sling works for him, I'm right there to comfort before he looses it. Just frustraighting when you get them back to sleep then they have a pain and they're wide awake again.

    Happy 4 months Adam

    Well I was silly last night and ate some spicy sasages. Linc has wind ++++++ again. Also he's really fighting sleep at the moment, this was before the wind, he likes to be awake. But gets over tired. Mum says I was like that so I've been forcing the SLEEP issue. Oh and he slept for 3 hours! two nights in a row, Not holding my breath but very excited.

    Back to the GP tomorrow, I hope his UTI is on the mend, besides the wind he seams alot better, more alert and happier to feed. OMG he drained my boobs three times last night. How early can babies have their 6 week growth? He's already rolling over and holding his head up I wonder if he's running a little early.

    Smithy - how's things? Still better I hope.

    If she's still having trouble, I'd seriously consider changing formula back - did it start with the thickened stuff? I know you're having a hard time with lack of sleep, but is there anyone that can help you out? Hard poos are really not good, poor little thing.
    A deep, warm bath might help. Also I've heard wiping their anus with a cold wipe might help. Or just plain water. Sugar I've heard is an old wives' tale though I know lots of people recommend it.
    Did you get a sling?

    Green - wow, rolling already? That's amazing Glad to hear he's doing a little bit better.

    So true BG!

    Hey Smithy, I just got a hot tip from someone I know who had the same problems - Brauers teething and colic relief. Worth a try
