Unfortunately, it's not. Max enjoyed two FULL containers of organic prunes tonight! Ugh! Why would I do this to my child? Although he has been nursing exclusively, the kid has not pooped in FOUR DAYS! I'm getting desperate. He has never been constipated before, but he's gone three days without going and then just has a lovely little liquid blowout. Hopefully that's what will happen tomorrow. Needless to say, we will be staying home until the blessed event occurs. I'm scared!
Good luck Max....do your thing! Don't worry, it will come! This too shall pass....and Jess, get your rain gear on, this could get messy!
ReplyDeleteoh honey....This happened to Jaxson just recently too! Except he hadn't gone in 6 days! I got really nervous...and my doc said to give him a bottle with 2 ounces of just luke warm water. (He has exclusively breast fed since birth as well...and has NEVER had problems with pooping!) I'm not kidding...within minutes of drinking the water we had TWO huge explosions...and life was good! Give it a try next time...unless he like the taste of organic prunes! HA
ReplyDeleteThis could get messy, good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica! WOW - Tyson never went that long without going...the only time that he went without was for two days...I was told to just fill up a large oral syringe with warm water and give him an enema...it worked! Just squeeze the trigger slowly!
ReplyDeleteToo funny. The typical food face. Did he like the prunes at all? He looks like he's been pigging out on a huge chocolate bar! I'm sure he wished he was!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah and just stick with it, ethan went over a week once, the doctor said it's normal but I felt so bad, just see if he'll take some water or grape juice they can tend to help...hope you all find some releif..ha ha!
ReplyDeleteOH, that is no fun! I was going to suggest trying water in a bottle too. Sometimes when babies get older and their digestive tract matures, they just need a little extra liquid in there to help things move along! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteAlso, wanted to tell you...the book I just read "These is My Words" by Nancy E. Turner is very good and I HIGHLY reccomend it! It is my sister's favorite book and I can see why. I wanted to tear the book in half part of the time, but that is how the best books always effect me. There is a second one, "Sarah's Quilt", but I haven't started it yet...still trying to get over the first one. Definitely worth the read!
Sorry Jess...I have no advice for little Max...my kids poo just fine.

ReplyDeleteHow funny is it that when we become parents it's all about the poop! They poop everywhere, their poop is a weird texture, they don't poop enough, the poop way too much! It is so funny yet a good sign that we are attentive parents I suppose. Either way he seems to get cuter by the day!!
ReplyDeleteUm well we did print some of the pics of and we have them in frames but we need to still print a HUGE pic. off and well i hope he poops soon!!!
