Teething Symptons

in Hawaii Babies

Elyse has all the classic teething symptoms: drooling like crazy, teething rash, wakefulness, less interested in eating etc.  But she's also constipated.  This is our second round of teething (with no teeth yet) and it's the second time she's been consitpated.

I know "they" say bf babies don't get constipated but I swear she is.  She's uncomfortable and has lots of stinky gas. 

Anyone else's babies get constipated rather than the typical runny teething poops?  What do you do for them to help things "move along".

    My kids usually had runny #2 and/or a diaper rash while teething.

    Have you started solids yet?  Any of the "P" foods should help -- prunes, pears, peaches etc.

    sometimes juice helps too, if you're ready for that stage.   I've heard taking a rectal temperature sometimes helps too. 

    DS hasn't really been constipated though, and the one time he went 2 days without going, I called the doctor's office and they said they don't recommend doing anything unless it's been 4 days.

    I saw the doctor and she (like everyone else) says exclusively bf babies can't get consipated.  But she did say that I could use 1/2 teaspoon of lactulose to help her poop. 

    I guess she's not technically consipated, so I'm not sure what to call it.  She's definately uncomfortable and it's not normal for her to go 5 days without pooping, she's a once a day girl.
