Sooooo he hasn't gone...

ninjarbaby posted:

Madden hasn't pooped since Friday! He doesn't seem to have any stomach pains and he's been passing gas. his pediatrician says that he's not constipated as long as he's passing gas. I've been trying to wean him to formula since my supply tanked within the last week. he's getting formula every other feeding now. I'm wondering if maybe that's why he hasn't gone? I'm not too worried because his stomach isn't hard like it's full but it's been 3 days! Has this happened to any of your babies? He's also on oatmeal and we just started him on bananas too. Actually, come to think of it, he hasn't gone since we started giving him bananas. Eeesh

If he doesn't poop today, i think i may just email his pediatrician to see if it's anything to worry about.

Hey Jane!
I never had this issue with Evan, but Miles has always gone from one extreme to the other! One thing that I found useful was the probiotic packs called Culturelle. I dump 1/2 pack of the powder into his bottle once a day and it helps keep him regular and minimizes gas. You can get a box of 30 at Walmart for like $18. Our ped. also mentioned you can use a bit of pear juice in a bottle to promote bowel regularity.... but I've never tried that since we aren't big on juice. GL!!!!

Stacy (32), DH (33). IVF 1 successful on first try! Evan born 7/6/10. FET 1- Miles born 5/19/12. Blessed with our beautiful boys!

Hey Jane!

I'm sorry to hear about Madden, that is rough for sure. Alex never had any issues as a baby, but he has been constipated a couple times as a toddler and it's been awful. You could always try prunes if you are ready to try a different fruit. Good luck!

Emily (33) DH (33) Nelly (Golden Retriever - 6), After 4 failed IUI's we got a surprise BFP the cycle before IVF! Alexander Edward arrived September 1, 2010

I hope he has gone by now. The most Eliza has gone is 2 days. I'm not looking forward to the constipation.
