Hi all

Looks like things have been busy in here. I havent been on for a while as Mikayla is really taking up a lot of my time!

She's been on S26 lactose free formula for about a week now at the suggestion of the local pharmacist and it seems to be working. She isnt projectile vomiting anymore but its now created another problem and she's constipated Just when I solve one problem it causes another! I'm still using Infacol before every feed as wind is definitely an issue just not as bad as when she was on BM & regular formula. I initially felt guilty for not continuing to breast feed but when I saw what difference the lactose free made I realised that its the best thing for her right now.

Can anyone suggest any solutions for constipation?? The poor thing cries in pain whenever she's trying to do a poo. She's gone from having dirty nappies after every feed to only pooing once or twice a day. And when she does its only very small and quite firm.

We're starting to notice that she's been alot more alert over the last week. She stays awake for longer and is starting to follow us with her eyes. She still doesnt respond to her name but she's definitely "looking" at us now! Its amazing how fast they grow and develop. I measured her the other night and she's grown another 2.5cm in 2 weeks. From birth length of 50cm she's now 4 weeks later 55cm long!

Doorbell just rang so gotta go.

Hope your all doing well and enjoying your bubs. Take care xx
