We are finally giving her diluted prune juice (under the doctor’s instruction, of course) to ease her constipation, after trying out 3 different kinds of formula in 2 months with no real success. Since she’s over 2 months old now, her digestive tracts should be able to handle more than just milk. So we are giving her 1 oz of prune juice mixed w/ 1 oz of water, twice a day. It may be a little early to tell, but just after 1 day of the not-so-yummy juice, the floodgate finally gave in & poop came rushing out this morning. It was mushy & no more rock-hard poop (literally)!The constipation was causing quite a bit of discomfort before. In fact, she usually skipped the crying & went straight to the screaming whenever it hurt, as Mel pointed out. So, to relieve the pain, we tried anything from putting her in the squat position, to rubbing her belly, to putting her upside down, to exercising her legs, to putting my pinkie up her butt.

Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes she likes it, sometimes she doesn’t.
