ugh. this is baby tmi so if you don't want to hear about baby poo then scroll on down!
I breast fed my daughter for 2 months. had to stop due to some supply and demand issues I was having and lucy wasn't gaining weight properly. gave her gerber good start for supplementing and it was great. had no problems. then I got on wic and they don't cover that specific kind. so we put her on gerber good start gentle. she would wake up multiple times at night, she was fussy, and would spit up a lot more. so I switched her to gerber good start soothe (the only other kind wic would cover) and she sleeps great at night! she's not as fussy and hardly ever spots up. but her poop is hard as a rock. in the past 2 weeks that she's been on this kind she's only pooped 3-5 times times. once was a good poo, the others were hard. she tried going daily, will stain and cry but nothing comes out. she barely eats solids and when she does she only eats prunes, peas, and oatmeal. I even tried juices and that doesn't make it and smoother for her. so I called the doctors, explained she's like this because she needs a different formula but we need a prescription written for it so wic will cover it. she's only been like this since starting the new formula. they said I need to bring her in to get her evaluated. I'm a bit angry. I know why it's so hard for her to go. she shows no signs of discomfort unless she's trying to go #2. I swear if this doctor tries sticking anything up my child's booty I'm going to be ticked. like at least let us try the formula she was on before THAT WORKED PERFECTLY FOR HER, before you try any of that stuff because I'm about 99% sure that's the only reason why it's so hard for her to go.

sonetimes doctors are idiots. when you go tell them exactly what's going on...again. tell them you refuse to let them sick something in her bum because you know the problem. if they don't listen tell them you'll find a new doctor who will. poor lucy 😣

sticking a q tip up her butt isn't bad it just helps stimulate her butt muscles to push it out. I have to do it to my daughter sometimes its perfectly normal

@juliagail09, this isn't even her doctor we are going to tomorrow because her doctor is out. it's a nurse practitioner. but that's exactly what I'm going to do! @rachaelbutsch, I know that. but she doesn't need help actually going. she tries going on her own. her poop is so hard it won't come out.

@rachaelbutsch, thank you very much! @juliagail09, so do I! I for sure will. her appointment is late tomorrow afternoon, I'll let you know. if the formula that worked well before doesn't do the trick then I may feel better about them getting invasive to figure out what's wrong. but I know it has to be this kind of formula. one reason I still wish I could breast feed.😩

well they should be more up to trying it the more simple(inexpensive way)(write a prescription) then get all into it when it could be something so simple. hopefully you can get her back on that formula and shell be better. 😊
