Yes you can. Nathan was prescribed it off the GP when he was only 6 weeks old. I think he had 5mls twice a day but you would have to check that one.

YEs! Danica was prescribed it when she was 4 months old, after Infant Gaviscon made her really constipated. But it takes time to start working.
Have you tried giving your little one prunes or prune juice? Chick peas are also very effective!

fresh orange ususally guarantees me a dirty nappy, or weetabix.

well i've given him some but earlier he had a pooh which was less hard so hopefully the water helped a lot!!!

could it be swapping to cows milk from fomula that's made his constipated?
