No joke when they say you hit your 30's your body starts going down hill. I was never lactose intolerant, only mildly during first trimester then went away, but now I am.

My LO is 5 weeks old, I’m really lost at what to do, he’s so unsettled and always seems to be in pain! I’ve added a photo of all the symptoms he has, but I can’t work out what’s wrong?😭 I’ve tried infacol (made him worse), I’m about to change his milk from aptamil to Hipp to see if that helps in any way!

We started weaning our babe on 16th Feb. He was pretty regular and then boom. Poor boy hasn't done a poo since Friday lunchtime! That's over 3 days now.
