一屎难求

After his contipation problem, we realised that it is so so wonderful to have our baby moving his bowel regularly and predictably. It's really a joy to be able to clean his output.

Last week he didn't pass motion for more than 24 hours, since 12pm the previous day. Immediately, we brought him to a GP. The GP didn't do anything. He just wanted us to wait another 24 hours.

His grandmom kept massaging his tummy, and after many false alarms, the baby finally sh!t ...

The first piece was a bit hard. But what followed subsequently was soft and creamy ... good stuff :)

Now it's a daily event that we wait for him to clear his rectum ...

At the time of this writing, the baby passing motion again after another more-than-24-hours wait. We decided to use lexative to help him a bit, just to be sure that he didn't have the super hard stool again.

We waited a few minutes after applying the lex ... yeah, we knew we shouldn't have done so unless necessary ... but trust me, after witnessing his struggle the other time to squeeze out the hard stool .... it IS necessary.

To our relief, this time, it's soft and creamy ... just as seen previously.

Now we decided to wait for his time naturally ... without interfering his system again.

May be what the doc said is right - that he's adjusting his schedule as he grows ... we should just be more patient.
