Children/Infants are amazingly resilient. Nathan successfully went 8 days without a bowel movement last week. The doctor has told us not to worry until day 5 - so we didn't. Then day 5 came and went, as did day 6, day 7, and most of day 8. That warranted a call to the pediatrician. After explaining all the things we had tried on days 5-8 we were finally prescribed a Rx laxative.
8 days, 4 bottles of juice, 3 doses of karo syrup, 2 suppositories, 1 Rx laxative later and countless warm baths...We have poop!
It amazes me the things I get excited about nowadays.
whoa!!! i bet it was a doozy....
