He's been pretty backed up for about 48 hours now. He has had a couple of small BMs, all of which made him scream in pain and one made him bleed a little.
We've given him prunes, water, all of that. Nothing seemed to help and today he only had a tiny pellet poop. I gave him a Glycerin suppository. He keeps screaming now that I've given it to him.
I just don't know what to do or how to help him. He is really upset. We just gave him milk and turned on Nick Jr and he's doing a little better.
This happens when we try to introduce any sort of new food. I'm wondering if he has an allergy.
Re: Help re: constipation and Glycerin
I've never heard of Pedialax! It's only been about 20 minutes since the suppository and the bottle says 15 minutes to an hour. I'll have to try the Pedialax. Thank you for the suggestion.
It breaks my heart so much seeing him in so much pain and discomfort and there's nothing I can do for him. I'm really glad we have his 15 month appointment on Wednesday so I can ask the doctor about how to prevent this. My poor little guy is so unhappy.
Hey, if you have epson salt a nice warm bath with that always helps C with his constipation.
Do you have epson salt? If not, and you want to try it, I just bought a new carton of it and will bring some over for you.
I've never heard that either! I'll give the suppository a little more time and then see what happens.
Thank you!!

Sorry the link is so long. The package says 2-5 years but it is what our Pedi recommended for quick relief when I called the after-hours line. I also noticed on the box that it said to call if there was not a BM within an hour. Is it the same w/ the glycerin capsules?
Hopefully he feels better!!! poor Jack.
BTW sending you a PM on FB about our playdate next week.
Yeah... I just am not sure because he has pooped but only barely. Thank you for the link.
Yep, this is what we did, we just set him in the bathtub, but I don't reccomend that because now he is afraid of the bath.
