I hate baby constipation (possible tmi)

in October 2012 Moms

She has been having pooping issues for about a week and a half and then hadn't actually pooped at all since Monday night. 

I tried prune and pear juices, warm baths with tummy massages, moving the legs back and forth and having her bounce around. Nothing worked. I called pedi and she said I could get a pedi liquid suppository and use half of it. I did and I thought it would just give her diarrhea. Nope it was forcing her to poop a giant rock size poop out of her. It took over an hour of screaming and crying out in pain. Finally I took her diaper off and as she was trying to get it out I had to baisically help her.

It was the most horrific thing I have expereinced as a parent. Holding my infant while she screamed and shook bc she was in so much pain. My toddler just looked on in horror and I think is just as traumatized. She cheered when the poop finally came out!

I am so exhausted.

    Aww I am so sorry that sounds terrible. I am glad it is all out now. If it ever happens again vaseline on her bum with a qtip will help it slide a little more gently. I hope you both get a good nights sleep after that. As a nurse I unfortunately have had to do this with adults, but I think it would be much more painful for me to watch it happen to my baby.

    Me too. It's much easier with strangers and or adults.

    For prevention, I mix prunes in with other fruits or yogurt and I mix spinach in with other veggies. Both are really helpful and I don't give full strength unless we've skipped a poopin day.

    Poor baby girl. Thank goodness you got it out though. She probably feels so much better.

    Ooof poor mamma. We've also had some issues with constipation. One late night I got desperate and shot some water up her butt using the nasal aspirator. It worked, she pooped and felt a lot better but the doc said not to do that anymore (he said to go get a suppository at the store.)
