Hi i can only think of getting your daughter to the Drs with an emergency appointment they will give you somthing to treat her with. Im sorry i cant be much help than that x

i agree. going to a doctor for some medication is probably the best way.
my daughter started using a free flow cup at 6 months old but she was about 1yr old before she could use it consistently enough to get a proper drink from it.

Hi, I always found the doctors less than helpful and they just said that it will pass. My boy never drank water, we was happy with diluted apple juice though. If she is on bottles (for her milk) use one of those to get her used to the different taste before introducing another drinks container. My son still will only drink either milk or very weak orange squash.
A fab tip for relieving constipation though is rasin water, take some rasins, put them in a saucepan and pour some water over them, then let them all boil for a few minutes till the water goes brown. Cool completeley and then give to your little one, she will probably like it because it is sweet and within 4 hours she should be back to normal.
Also with weaning, try whizzing up some strawberries with rasins and a bit of apple juice, a little pot of this a day will help to keep her regular. try the Annabel Karmel book for more ideas for weaning foods.
Hope this helps.

Gripe water is also good. Thats what the Dr gave my Emma.
