Constipation, Constipation!
So the past week we've (or at least Lilly physically) has been dealing with constipation. We've talked to the doctors and gotten a slew of instructions, and we've laid off the solids, especially bananas. She's back to strictly milk during the day and formula at night, while we get her stomach issues settled. It's heartbreaking to see her get all red in the face, grunt, strain, and then nothing comes out. Or a pellet. And it's hard and it looks like its so painful. Because then she cries and goes through the whole sequence again. Well, yesterday she was given prune juice. I tried to trick her, by giving it to her first, in a bottle, and she took maybe a few sips before she was like, gross, what is this? I then switched to breastmilk, which she at first refused, thinking it was going to be the prune but nope. She greedily took it down. I then tried to go back to the prune but she swatted her hand and said NO! We're stocked, we got the glycerin suppostories, full prune juice bottle, and boxes of apples juice. Karo Syrup is next. But luckily last night, before bath time she went through two painful cycles and then finally pooped and it was soft! So today she'll get some apple juice to keep her digestive system on track and hopefully this weekend we'll go back to solids. There's sweet potato puree and pea puree waiting for her!
