You here? Did your DS poop yet?
This discussion has been closed.
Re: :::Mama Jan:::
Hey! I didn't get a chance to update you!
So I think I told you, we saw the pedi on Friday for his 4mo appt and he said to try 2oz of prune juice, and if that didn't work then try a suppository. He would only take 1oz of juice (he'd never had anything but BM and a little formula before!) and I tried several times with no luck. That was Friday night. Around 10pm Friday, Asher was having trouble sleeping so I sent DH out for suppositories. Ash fell asleep before DH got home.
Saturday morning around 10am I was desperate but couldn't do his suppository... I just have irrational fears... so I made DH do it but when he took him out of the exersaucer we realized he had pooped.
It was bad. BAD. I literally cut his onesie off of him and peeled it off his back. Ugh, I'm gagging just thinking about it. I cleaned him up which was funny because I could do that but not the suppository.
What about your LO? Have you had any luck? Our pedi said Asher wins the award of longest his patient has ever gone....

No poop yet! Today is day 13!
I tried apple juice (it usually shoots through my kids) with no luck.
I went out last night and got the little tummies laxative. I called my nurse friend (the pharmacy was already closed) and she told me how much to give her. Still no luck
I have been pumping her legs back and forth and rubbing her tummy for days now, no luck. When she finally explodes it's not gonna be pretty! I put my least favorite jammies on her last night cuz I figure they will get ruined. I am not changing her out of them until she poops today
I called the pedi and made an appt for this afternoon...hopefully I won't have to go lol.
How long did your DS go without pooping?? Oh and I don't blame you about the suppository...I don't even own a rectal thermometer!
I think he went 11 days? It may have been 12.
You should try prune juice if apple juice isn't working. I think apples are a binder, aren't they?
Is your DD uncomfortable? DS was happy as a clam the whole time, I couldn't believe it.
:::crossing my fingers you don't have to go to the pedi!:::

Today was day 13!
I called the Pedi and they said the same thing, try prune juice. Apple juice gives my kids the runs if they have more than the norm 4oz or so. I really figured it would work!
She was pretty uncomfortable, kinda like when they have a burp they can't get out...
But she pooped before we had to go to the pedi!!! Yay! Normally when she goes it's an ungodly amount...today I wasn't even aware until I caught a whif. There wasn't a ton of it, but it was enough for me to not worry, kwim? Anyway, hopefully she will go some more.
Oh good! Poor lil girl!! I'm sure she'll be going again for you soon.
I asked our pedi, in the future when (not if) this happens again, when should I start giving prune juice? He said that since this is common for DS, we should give it starting around day 5.

Oooh thats good to know! I didn't think to ask that. I will go ahead and get some then. I'm going to be starting her on solid food soon and that's certainly not gonna help her situation lol.
She went form waking up once at night around 4:30 or 5:30 am, to being up all dang night eating! When my other kids did this it was around the same age, as soon as we started solid feeding it went right back to waking up once a night. Hopefully she will do the same in a week or so when we start solids. I am dying over the lack of sleep and my other kids are not getting my full attention anymore!
Oh I know, I was thinking the same thing!! I think with this LO I'm really going to have to watch what he eats (and really limit bananas!). I've read that pears are supposed to help with constipation too, so maybe making sure they eat pear every day will help too??

Haha! Maybe I will have to do the same!
Well hopefully we will keep the hiney's flowing now that we both have some tips, heehee
Let me know if you find something that works well for you, my apple juice thing isn't gonna work for this LO
