We took Jesse to the doctor yesterday because he's been constipated for about two weeks. I took some measures last week to get him to go, but it has now been another eight days. So, we decided it was time to seek a professional before I took any other measures upon myself. Anyway, if ever your kids get constipated, here's the conclusion: an ounce of prune juice with an ounce of water twice a day for a week or so. If that doesn't solve the problem, cut all dairy completely out of your diet. So, we shall see what happens.
Other news. Jesse now weighs in at 18 pounds 10 ounces. I actually thought it was more on our scales here, so that's good news. He's only gained a pound this month, as opposed to one pound per week, so progress is being made. He is still completely off the charts, and they are going to keep an eye on him, but they are not worried at all right now. Yay.
Jesse also gave us our first really real belly laugh the other day. He did it two or three times when he saw our friend's daughter! She wasn't even doing anything silly, it just struck him funny! And for the life of us, we can't get him to do it again. But, it was so so so cute!!!
hey ame...another good solution for constipation is corn syrup...can you believe it? i actually never tried it, but i've had several moms suggest it, due to it's great results. i think you'd probably dilute it in water, and then give it to him via a syringe at his age. anyways, just in case the prune juice doesn't work...oh ya, i updated my blog so check out the pics. (would love to see what your boys look like too...could you e-mail me some pics...angiemstanley@hotmail.com...whenever you get around to it, as i know how busy life is these days. love you sweets...angxxoo
