Hard Poo's ...

[JeSka]

hey my dd has been doing hard poo's now on and off 4 bout a week we stopped giving her cows milk bcoz we thought thats wat it could of been she's also had the coloxyl drops in her bottle & had pear juice 2 try & help.. has anybody else gone thru anything like this it breaks my heart everytime she does one going 2 try & get a dr's app 2moro but dont like my chances (i live in a small town with 3 baby dr's :( ).. any feedback would b appreciated :)

maybe water down the milk, and offer plain water as often as humanly possible. The sooner you get the stools softer, the better. Also, keep trying to get into the GP.
Good luck:)

What is she eating? Sometimes banana can bind them up a bit... I agree with giving her extra water/watering down her milk. Will she eat pureed apples?

[JeSka]

she has porridge 4 breakfast a fruit bar thing between brekkie n lunch either a yoghurt or vegemite sandwhich 4 lunch & a piece of fruit 4 afternoon tea & for tea she eats jar food as she wont eat home cooked stuff :no: gonna try her 2nite again on home cooked food last nite was a disaster.. rang the health clinic 2day she has an app 2moro they 2 think its her diet

I do think it is most important to drink water, and lots of it, I know it can be hard to push the water, but very important, as well as a good diet, like weet bix, pears, etc.

you have to be careful not to give too many coloxyl drops, I mean not for to long, because then they sort of rely on them, if you get what im saying,

My DD2 is like this, and I put brown sugar in her bottles once a day, and it works well,

Was just about to suggest the brown sugar in water, but trouble beat me to it.

I find that it works for my DD.

Also if she eats things like banana, then it can bind her up a little.

im no expert but what about prune juice?

DD had a couple of hard poos so i gave her a little diluted apple and prune juice (i got in the baby food section). Without going into too much detail :D she did a much better one this afternoon.
