bowel movement trouble
good morning! yesterday my dd was having problems having a bm...she would
push and cry a bit when going. Everytime I changed her diaper she had a little poo in her diaper..it was not hard so I do not believe she is constipated but I am concerned. Before yesterday she had not gone in 3 days...which was fairly common over the last month or so..but now she seems to be having problems....did anybody have a similar experience or does anybody have any advice. If it does not get any better I will take her to the Dr. but I wanted to here from you if there was any advice..thanx michelle and mikayla |

bowel movement trouble
How old is she and is she completely breastfed?
If she is completely breasfted, it is normal to go only occasionally. Some straining is also normal. If she isnt, then she may be constipated, depending on if the stool is hard when it finally comes.

Sounds pretty normal, then. Her digestive system is maturing, and as she poops less often, she has to work harder to get it out. Have you tried bicycling her legs or holding her so that she's sitting on your arm with her legs drawn up toward her chest? -- tristyn www.tristyn.net |

bowel movement trouble
yes i tried that and it definitely helps..i also rub her belly and it seems
to help. I guess eventually she will get used to the fact that it is not as loose and it will come naturally...it is just strange that it is coming bit by bit. michelle and mikayla "iphigenia" wrote in message ...

bowel movement trouble
Well, with your daughter being 3 months I don't think I can help. BUT 2
things I wanted to say... 1- You may still want to check with her doctor. Take the last dirty diaper with you. He/she can determine more if this is normal or if there is anything that can help her go. 2- Also check with her doctor if this would mean her having problems going in the future. From experience, I know that it can be real painful. Most of my childhood, I could not go I would stay up to 7 days without going & then my parents would have to pay our doctor a visit, to relief my constipation. I was a very active kid (from tennis, to swimming, to jogging etc. So, I was getting my exercise). Good luck, I feel for you. If my daughter (due 07-31-04) was having problems going, my heart would be breaking for her. The poor little thing.
