I had a GREAT weekend with Jack... the weekends seems a lot shorter than they did before Jack arrived... anyways, Jack took pictures at the mall for the second time (that is a story in itself) and we went out to eat... Today was really nice as well, minus the infant constipation... poor Jack... he is in SUCH pain... for all you moms out there, you know what I am talking about the kind of pain that you feel when your child is hurting... we gave him some water, but still no bm... This is totally random... but the virtue of hope is just soooooooo important for parents... The hope that God and His Angels are watching over your little one and the hope that God will give you the grace to be the person that your son or daughter deserves to have as a mother or father... Jack just gave a smile, so there is hope that he will feel better....
Trust in the Lord with all of your heart... Lean not on your own understanding... (What an important verse for me to remember today!)

Heather,
ReplyDeleteTry those little glycerin suppositories from the drug store for constipation. They are VERY inexpensive and they work like a charm to get those BM's out! They work wonders! Our pediatrician told us to use them. Gabriel doesn't mind them getting put in at all and they help a lot :)
For future reference, Check with your doctor first, but I believe Jack is old enough to drink juice (mix 1/2 water, 1/2 juice to dilute it some). I believe it was apple juice my doctor had recommended for Sophia that same way.
ReplyDeleteThey also make baby prunes, which worked like a charm as well =)
