We've been experiencing some...well, strain around here the past week. For those of you with more delicate sensibilities, I should warn you that this is a poop entry. Read at your own risk
( Read more... )
Our doctor told us anything that starts with "p" will work....peaches, pears, prunes, peas, etc. We had good luck with pear juice and strained pears. I've been told its much gentler on their tummies. You can also water down the juice to make it less powerful. Jody
Apparently, you have never had the pleasure of experiencing the effects of prune juice personally. Take my word for it, it causes abdominal pain. I'll bet that's why Toby is screaming.
He may have some reflux problems as well if he is crying after eating. I'll be waiting to hear what the pediatrician says.
I guess my "Turtle Barfed Two Days in a Row and Finally Hacked Up a Furball" story pales in comparison to this one... Wow. At least she did it on the hardwood floor (don't tell Mom!) and NOT on the bed.
Thank you for sharing. Although I'm sure it has been a painful adventure, your readers are laughing off their butts.
We had the same issues with Victoria. I feel your pain. The prune juice helps, but as you said minor explosions are a side effect. We were in the UP camping and realized we forgot the prune juice and had a slight panic attack. I preferred the prune juice over the screaming.
He is probably having bad gas pains, and that's why he is grunting and pushing. This was true with Victoria. Our doctor recommended *I think it's called* grape water. You can find it at Babies R Us or the drug store in the baby isle. It does wonders for the gas pains. Our ped said that gas drops are a bust, and I concur. They never seemed to work with Victoria.
Starting solids worked wonders with Victoria. Perhaps getting some fiber into his diet via pears or apples may help. I hope I don't sound preachy or know-it-allish. But I hope the little man feels better soon. It's not any fun for anyone.
