Moms: kid poop question

[psychmom]

DS hasn't had a BM in over 72 hours. At what point would you consider a suppository? He isn't acting uncomfortable. He's usually an every other day guy, but now I'm concerned.

I wouldn't be concerned, but I would start with the p fods - peaches, pizza, prunes, pancakes with syrup (seriously)... I may call if he starts to act uncomfortable or at 5 or so days.

Thanks!

I wouldn't go straight to a suppository, but I would try to push more liquids and maybe cut back on things that are binding, like bananas.

Yep. Milk and cheese are binding too. Also, talk to your pedi about probiotics. A BM every other day isn't enough IMO.

I'd break out the apple juice.

pears, raisins, dried cranberries, yogurt, apricots, figs...
