Hiya, have a read of other posts on here because there is so much good advice. I would up the cosmocol gently- maybe half a sachet every two days. You might need to get up to 6 or 8. It will get messy but basically the poo needs to be soft enough so she can pass it. Lots of drinking as well, hot baths, exercise can help stimulate the bowel. Sometimes Senna alongside cosmocol can help as well. Good luck x
