I took him to the doctors yesterday and she said that some babies take to
solids well and some get constipated and it is normal for this to happen and
as he looked happy then she wasn't too concerned about it. I told her that
we gave him Lactulose for two weeks and it did not do anything and now we
are trying califig and if that was ok, (as he is just over ten months and it
is recommended for above one year olds). The doctor said that if we give
him the minimum dose then he should be ok (after consulting with a
paediatrician). The doctor will also setup an appointment with a
pediantrition at our local hospital.

I think I will continue with the califig for another week and if it has no
effect then there is no point in continuing with it.

If you are concerned about your child's constipation then go and see the
doctor.
