Poor baby......re:pooping/constipation

I feel so bad for my DS! He is having one heck of a time pooping. I am waiting to here back from the on call doc and he is so sad! Yesterday he pooped and it was so hard that he could only get half out. We have tried prunes, apple juice, rectal stimulation with a thermometer. I'm hurting for my little baby. He does like to to lay on his belly when he is pooping and we rub his back, I guess the pressure feels good on his tummy.

You can get glycerin suppositories from the drug store. ?That's what my pedi wanted us to do if he didn't poop within 6 hours, after 5 days. ?He pooped after a lot of prunes and rectal stim. ?I would think about those suppositories. ?What finally cured him of const, was someone told us that he should have something to drink with his solid food meals. ?He loves water so he has that but when he was constipitated, I used diluted juice and it really helped. ?He drank straight from a cup, very messy but it help him learn how to use it. ?GOOD LUCK!

So we gave her prunes for dinner yesterday and prunes this a.m. .. I called home she went he said but not a whole lot. UGH i think i might get some pear juice at the store on my way home from work..

DS went through a stage where pooping was difficult for him. We started mixing prune juice with BM in one bottle a day. We also did massage and I had this little song I made up. "Exercise your legs....then you'll poop, poop, poop". There are other words I won't share, man my husband thought I was crazy. Anyways I would bicycle his legs and dance him around he loved it. He would laugh so hard. This was when he was under 5 months old. GL!

I just posted something about this on my local board, but if any of you are feeding your kids Gerber Puffs, you might want to stop for a little while. DD had a heck of a time with rice cereal so we moved on to oatmeal pretty quickly. The rice stopped her up something terrible. Puffs have rice flour in them too.

DD was up to two ounces of undiluted prune juice a day last week and we couldn't get her unstopped. We switched exclusively to Cheerios and have had good poops ever since!
