AGAIN!

It's true Andrew is constipated again! I don't know what to do. Today I was trying to help by pushing on his stomach and he was screaming and crying. I started crying because I can see the pain he is in (literally)- I won't go into detail. I know the nurses at the nurse line know what they are doing, but no on seems to give me any solutions that will ease his pain in the process of passing this hard stool. I am so frustrated that this can't be fixed it seems like something very simple. I don't understand how he was totally regular for the first 5 months of his life, and now he is all backed up. Please pray for us both me that I will stay calm and for him that he can have a movement without throwing up and tearing! (sorry it's graphic).

    Take him to John Belde...he hs the magic touch.

    And.. is he eating formula or solids? That could be it as well.

    Stephanie,
    Wyatt was much older than Andrew is when he had constipation issues, so I don't assume to know what to do. But I know from a nutritional standpoint that Magnesium and Acidophilus are pretty crucial with helping to keep stools soft and regular. That, combined with lots of water seemed to do the trick. My sister's son had similar symptoms as an infant, and for a while was doing a natural suppository every day, but once she started those 2 things, the constipation stopped within days.

    I'm praying for Andrew.
