OMG the poop (gross)
First of all, I know tht the only time I ever post is when I have a question. I promise that I will strive to be a better contributor to the board. To be honest, I lurk ALOT but feel weird about chiming in most of the time.
So my question concerns poop, lol. We've been VERY lucky to have made it to 6 months w/out a blow out of epic proportions. I guess we had it coming. Eloise has been constipated for a couple of days now, so when it was time to try a new solid, I decided to give her some prunes last night to help her get things moving. She LOVED them (definitely a bigger hit than green beans or oatmeal), and ate more than she's ever eaten of a solid food. Fast forward to this morning: she had an epic, disguisting, bath the baby, throw away the towel you changed her on kind of poop. Seriously, it was almost up in her hair (TMI, I know).
Would you say allergic reaction or just her cleaning herself out? She seems to be perfectly happy. I can't decide if I should skip the prunes tonight or just mix a little in oatmeal instead of giving it to her straight.
TIA.
Re: OMG the poop (gross)
Oh no! It sounds like she's just cleaning herself out. I'd probably mix in a little oatmeal, but keep her on the prunes.
Good luck!
Sounds normal! I'd just do as the pp said, mix in half oatmeal to her prunes for a little while to give her tummy a chance to settle. Great that she loved them, though! There will be times she really needs them and now you know you won't have a fight on your hands, lol!
Also, bananas are binders, so if you notice she has really loose stools for the next couple of days, you could do a bit of banana in the oatmeal/prune mix. It's all about the balance.
