Ever since Baby C started to eat porridge, she has not been able to do her poopie business everyday. Instead, she would only poo poo every other day. Last week, she could not poo poo for 3 days. On the 2nd day, she was feeling the effects of the constipation and was fussing the whole day.
Day 2 of constipation
When I saw Baby C straining away, I quickly put her on a potty (which once belonged to Sherilyn) and made ‘hmmmm hmmmm’ sounds to stimulate her senses to poo poo. Whilst she was seated on the potty, I fed her with some papaya and water. She only managed to strain out a small piece of stool no bigger than a 5 sen coin….how pathetic! She was also struggling and crying… and I had to distract her with some toys.
Day 3 of constipation
When I saw her straining away during breakfast, again I put her on the potty. I then cut up a dragon fruit and fed her with about 1 teaspoon of dragon fruit and also some water. Minutes later, she finally poo poo and it was explosive! Imagine 3 days of accummulated poop, that’s how explosive it was lol!
muhahaahaha…it’s really funny how you described it. sorry, don’t mean to laugh at poor baby. i know how it is being constipated. ashley is like this too. i guess dragon fruit is good eh? hey, this means you have potty trained her to poo poo? good job!
poor girl. It’s painful for us, when they’re straining to get the poopoo out.
I normally rush to the change table, and ‘help’ him push his poo out. sounds disgusting..but it helps get all the poo out, fast!….Yes…I actually pull the poo out.
Perhaps the porridge should be less thick ie more diluted so that she consumes more water at the same time? Good that she sits on the potty at such a young age. I should start with Brandon too…
