Constipated Infant
Lillian is really starting to get the hang of eating from a spoon, and, somehow, she seems to enjoy the rice cereal. But…it’s stopping her up. Our little love has had her knees to her tummy, and has been straining to poo since Friday. On Saturday her face turned so red when trying, and she started to whimper – it was so sad! I called the pediatricians office, and the nurse said to give her some prune juice. I did just that yesterday and a bit today, and it definitely seems to be helping. She’s had about four poos since then and seems more comfortable. However, her knees are still up so we might be moving to some fruit sooner than planned to get her system a bit more regular without the prune juice.
