Tylenol and constipation

in July 2013 Moms
LO has been having difficulty pooping and I am shovelling the prunes to her. I had thought it was because of all the solid food she has been eating. But then I was wondering if the Tylenol and Advil I have been giving her for teething pain might cause it?

    I don't give anything to LO (meds) but when he gets constipated (quite often) the only thing that helps is diluting his solids with pureed vegetable broth.

    Not in my experience.

    More solids will cause more formed, less frequent poops.

    Try and warm bath and rectal stimulation with a rectal thermometer.

    @Iand LoveandYou‌ I am giving her pears now as well. @sandraynic‌ LO will only allow me to feed her fruit and yogurt from a spoon, she has to do it herself or will refuse it. (I am stopping yogurt in case it makes it worse). @valstulas‌ we gave her two baths last night so she could poop, poor baby. Thanks for your replies, seeing her struggle sucks.

    Oh no :( I am sorry she is going through this... LO gets constipated but he doesn't seem to care, I'm the one who is paranoid about it.

    We changed from rice cereal to oatmeal and LO poops a lot more and they aren't as solid as before (I mean they wee pellets before). Remember puffs are usually made from rice which can constipate. Pears are great too.

    @shara3333‌ it is great idea to switch to oatmeal instead of rice. I will try that also. Since cereal requires me to feed her I will have to mix it half and half with fruit anyway so double the help. Thanks for the reply. :0)

    I hope your LO is pooping better... Can't believe I just typed that. 
    Just wanted to say that I do think yogurt can constipate. At least in my opinion it does for my LO.

    We do plain Greek yogurt every day. So I really believe our culprit was rice cereal. But every belly is different. Good luck!

    Ty was getting Tylenol and Motrin over the weekend for teething pain. His poops have been normal.

    Can you skip cereal all together? I steam one apple and 4 dried apricots. Puree those with one pear (all peeled of course) and mix with custard I make with whole milk and corn starch, but you could mix with yogurt instead. It's delicious.
