okay mommies...i need your help!

Who knew it was normal for a baby to go 3 days without pooping?! Well, I didn't, so that's why today I did everything I could to try and make my little man poop...and after nothing seemed to work, I finally called the doctor. "Oh!" She said," that is very normal! He could go as much as a week without pooping!" WHAT??!! A week!!! My poor fussy, grunting baby could be like this for a WEEK??? I really hope not...so any suggestions that anyone has that might help Mr. Mason "have a poopie"...please, let me know. I can't stand to see the little guy straining for a week!!!

Maybe it would be OK to give him a few cc's of prune juice....? Of course make sure the doctor says it's OK first. Poor little guy!

been there done that...lovely topic isn't it? I remember when our big guy was little we actually put a little Caro syrup in his bottles?! That's what everyone said to do...it seemed to help. We did have to provide further help on a few occasions (enema, daddy had to do it!, I couldn't)

Today at 3 1/2 we are still dealing with poopy issues..that will be a later blog...:)

good luck
