My breast fed baby is constipated, I think due to gaviscon. What can I eat to help her go?

Can you miss a few doses of the Gaviscon? That's what I used to do. How many sachets is LO having a day? Have you mentioned it to your GP?

My LO is 13 weeks. The doc told me to give dose with every feed. I gave it with almost every feed but she has not had any today due to constipation and she has actually been very content today  ??? I spoke to the doctor this morning who has prescribed lactulose but when I went to get prescription the surgery was closed so she hasn't had it yet.
