We Have Poop!

Finally! Yesterday morning while I was asleep, my mom came in and let me know Reese had a poopy diaper. Oh, happy day! I never thought I would be so happy for a poop! I'm just glad good 'ol grandma got to change it and not me :) We had given her 1 oz of prune juice and a little bit of water. Thank goodness it worked. Apparently the prune juice really is a laxative. Gotta keep her regular! Just in case, I went out and bought some baby oatmeal instead of rice cereal. That rice cereal just doesn't have enough nutritional value I think. Tried the oatmeal this morning and it didn't go over too well. Maybe I'll mix it with some peaches or pears tomorrow...

Poop Update

No poop yet. I'm getting really worried. She might be sick. No fever, and she's not upset or in pain. We called the Advice Nurse today. She was no help. She said to wait till 7 days of no poop, then get worried. All I know is that if I went 7 DAYS without pooping, I would not be feeling too great! So, for a six month old to go that long must seem like forever. And what happens when she actually does poop? Is it going to hurt her? I read on a baby website to try baby supositories, but really DO NOT want to go there. If she doesn't poop by tomorrow, we're going to the doctor!!

On Poop Alert

"Houston, we have a problem."

My six month old daughter hasn't pooped in nearly three days. I've been searching for answers on what I should do because I don't want her to be uncomfortable. Babycenter.com says that it is normal for a baby to go a few days without pooping but that they shouldn't go more than four days without some movement. She has had a lot of gas, so I know stuff is moving around down there. I'm just worried that she will be pooping out little rocks and it will be painful for her.

My step-mom told me if she doesn't go tomorrow I should give her an ounce of prune juice and some water. I am trying it tomorrow if she doesn't handle that business tonight! I really don't want to push a suppository up her little bum!

I'll post updates soon!
