Poopoo incident

Posted by Dawn at Tuesday, October 30, 2007
These few days, I have started introducing a little bit of formula milk during the daytime to Caleb since next year onwards, I will stop giving him breastmilk already. The reason is that next year is a super busy year for me. I not only have 2 graduating classes but I am the teacher in charge of my CCA as well as the chairman of Staff Well-Being Committee. No complains but just going to be busy busy busy.

Even now when its the school holidays, I do not even have the time to express my milk in school because of how busy I am.

Anyway, so since Caleb has been taking a mixture of formula and breastmilk, his poo has been harder to come out since breastmilk is very diluted. So a few days ago, he had problems poo pooing. He became very cranky as it just couldnt excrete out. So, we made sounds to help him to push...

It was a very funny incident as we helped him to poo..

Initially, he was ok...



Then he tried to focus to poo..



But when he couldnt, he started crying..



Then we gave him water to drink to help ease the process and placed him on the bed.

Each time I made noises, like,"Eummmmmm..." to help him poo, he had this funny expression on his face which really showed his effort...



Look at this video and see how funny Caleb's expression was. Never knew babies could have such natural reflex..

awww... that reminded me of Tim when he had the same problem... have hard stools and couldn't poo as smoothly... I remember being so desperate that I ended up giving him 1 tsp of prune juice in his water... :P

Hi Dawn,
A colleague of mine diluted the formula milk when she 1st introduced that to her baby - to avoid constipation. You may want to try that too?

I rem giving my girl those "Heinz" & "Gerber" prune juice too, it helps. However, i think it's for babies over 6mo - gotta chk the labels on the packaging. =)

what I did was to just let Caleb drink more water after each feeding. Yea, I think must be over 6 months then can take prune juice.
