finally pooping every day!!!

well, we have had quite a hard time with Ayden and his bowel movements. When he was on breast milk almost every diaper was dirty but when we moved to formula he became a 5-6 day pooper…meaning that it was only every 5-6 days he would poop and he would not go on his own. I had to give him glycerine suppossitories or use a trick a doc taught me with a q-tip and some ky jelly…You hate to assist as babies will become dependent on this and will only go when they are helped but you can’t let him go too long without pooping…so in the last week and a bit we have introduced oat cereal into his diet and as you read below yesterday we started on carrots.

Well the solid foods are definately helping his system. After we gave him the carrots last night, he had a poop and then just as I finished feeding him at 3:30 this afternoon, he had another poop. I think that the fiber is really helping his system. Even the doctor was suprised that he was only going once every 5-6 days as most kids go at least once a day if not more.

I am just happy that this transition seems to be helping him!!!

Just to add a bit of humor….Ayden almost always waits to poop when daddy is not home, and when he does go…you have to air out the house!!!!
