For those of you who don't know I am a little granola crunchy. DH and I live a very natural lifestyle eating, exercise and medically for the most part. I believe in a lot of things that most people poke fun of but I don't really give a shi^t. For LO we opted for a balance approach which is why we are giving her vaccines and things like tyelnol when needed although I am not in love with the idea the alternative is worse in my eyes.
That being said- I have a dr who is an alternative dr practicing chiro, energy medicine, among many other alt care practices. She has 2 children who she has really raised aligned with her beliefs. I decided to ask she about LO's pooping situation. She asked me what I was feeding her- so I told her pears, avocado, sweet potato, prunes, squash. She said that LO's do not have the digestive enzymes to break down vegetables until about 9mts and I should try giving her only fruit and see if that makes a difference.
Interesting...WDYT?
Re: Food for thought (pun intended)
That is interesting too. My pedi did not suggest that at all.
Obviously not EVERY baby gets constipated- and she said that not every baby has this problem but more of a general rule.
