15-7-2009 - The problem with poop Good!My mood while writing this blog:
Good!



Yup, I have a problem with poop. Eevie (Yvette) isn't doing it! She is 6 weeks, 3 days, and she stopped pooping on her own when she was about a week old. I feel stupid saying this because it doesn't even sound right, does it? I am exclusivly breast feeding (every freakin TWO hours still!!!), and breastfed babiesare not suposed to have issues like this! I looked at my diet, cut out gasy foods, addd more water, ate more fruits/veggies, I take my prenatal vitamins still....I know it's NOT me. My poor baby will scream with pain and you can tell she is trying so hard tp poop, but she can't! At her 2 week check up the doctor said she was fine, and added that her own daughter once went 10 days. Yvette can't go more than a day without being in terible pain. We went back at 1 month and was told to give her 1 ounce water/1 ounce prune juice once a day. That worked for a few days, though it does not seem right to give such a small baby juice. It made her poop dark and stinky!!!!! When the juice stopped working, I was told to give it to her twice a day. Big mistake, she was in even more pain and it gave her dieria (sp?) it was completly liquid...my poor baby. I don't know what to do!!!!! The only way I get her to poop is by putting a q-tip in her butt! You gently push it to the side so that it kind of opens her up and relaxes the muscle (I know, gross).Her body relaxes and then she starts pooping. What the heck? I know a baby normaly poops 4 times a day so I do it 3 times a day to keep her from being in pain. How long am I going to have to do this??? Has anyone else delt with this before?

I've had the same problem with my little Darcy, she's 6 weeks and has been constipated nearly from day 1! however she is formula fed. I got lactulose from the docs (not sure if thats the same in the US) and have been giving it to her twice a day with no real effect. I changed her formula 2 days ago and finally she seems to be more comfortable! She's pooped loads this morning and has finally slept soundly for the first time in I can't remember how long!!! hopefully i'll have a happier baby now!
I really feel for you and don't know what to suggest as you're breastfeeding but maybe talk to the doc about infant safe laxatives? Good luck!!

Poor baby :[ Are things any better now?

my daughter was the same way...she would go days without pooping and was miserable!!! i formula fed though and could try different ones till i found one that was gentle on her tummy. that's strange that she's so constipated and your breast feeding?! she's 2 now and still hardly goes everyday...on the other hand jason goes almost every feeding which i am so not used to...i hope she starts going for you...i know how frustrating it is...good luck!

I Went Through The Same Thing With My Now 21 Month Old Daughter. I Too Only Exclusively Breastfeed And I Just Recently Gave Birth So I Am Waiting For It To Happen To Him Also. I Rushed My Daughter To The Emergency Room Thinking Something Was Wrong With Her Because She Hadn't Pooped In 2 Weeks. Well Come To Find Out They Told Me It Was Normal For An Exclusively Breastfed Baby To Go That Long Without Pooping. I Couldn't Believe It Because As An Adult I Know I Go Everyday. They Told Me That There Isn't Much To Digest With Breastmilk. Sounds Weird But Okay. So I Was Told If I Was That Concerned To Buy The Infant Fleet Suppositories But I Was Told Not To Use Them That Often. They Told Me That If You Continuely Use Them Then Your Baby Will Get Used To Having Something Put Up Them To Make Them Use The Bathroom. It All Worked Out But Just Scared The Crap Out Of Me. I Think It Hurts Us More As Mothers Knowing Our Babies Aren't Pooping. Good Luck!!

Aww!! I feel so bad for her. I'm not sure what to do at that age. My children had problems with pooping, but they weren't breasfed, they were formula fed and they ended up changing their milk and that worked wonders!! Good Luck!! I hope you two get some relief soon!!
