Water - works wonders!

[my*lil*munchkin]

Hi ladies

I know a lot of you are probably already aware of this but I was amazed at how quickly it really works...
...Water for a baby that hasn't pooed for a day or two

DS (12 weeks) hadn't used his bowels since early yesterday morning & was a little grizzly this arvo. He was due for a feed, but I decided to give him a small drink of water first. He guzzled about 30mls at 4.30 and I gave him his bottle of formula straight after. By 5.30 we had a nice pooey nappy!!

So if you need to gets those bowels moving, I highly recommend water!

Yep, works wonders. And if you give it to them a little warm (just a wee bit, cooler than breastmilk straight from the boob) and only about 15 - 30mls it does fabulous things for wind and colic, too.

Well, it did for my DS who had the worst wind and gas ever, which is starting to get better now as he approaches the 3 month mark.
