Before we go to the dark side, just to document, my Auntie has come for a real visit. Last time I was merely crying wolf, just spotting a tiny bit. But this, this is the real deal. My first need for the green tampons since late January 2010. It's been awhile. It's funny, when I began with full flow, I thought to myself, "Well, that is a real flow. Almost like what a fertile person would have. Maybe..." and then I fell off my chair laughing. Because we all know flow does not a fertile make. But it seems like it would, sorta, right? Hahahahahaha.
Anyway, the Critter feeding diaries continue. While she loves her bananas, they on the other hand, do not care for her so much. We did the standard three day new food trial, so she ate banana for three evenings. That was too much nana. Now she is ummm...backed up. She actually had her first solid poop yesterday, two of them in fact. Like it could roll right out of the diaper. (Sorry if this is TMI, I don't know what it is about new parents' obsession about poop, but we just can't help it. My friend says we all become shitologists. True that.)
And last night, she refused her peas and sweet taters. Which is new. I think she is feeling backed up, and the food doesn't help. So we might start the prune juice thing again today if she doesn't improve. Poor girl.

holy crap, critter is on solids already? amazing!
ReplyDeleteI hope she's feeling better soon!
Weird that bananas can cause constipation in babies! I always thought they were supposed to help it in adults, but maybe I have that wrong. Poor thing.
ReplyDeleteAnd how weird -- I can't imagine what it will be like to see real solid poo come out of my baby. What a grown up thing... no no no no no!!! Mads just might have to stay on breast milk forever. ;)
I just heard on tv today that avocado is a great early solid food for baby, and it will help with the constipation, so maybe see if she likes that? Poor thing!
ReplyDeleteit's amazing how much time you spend thinking and talking about poop once you have a baby, isn't it?
