Mommies please help!!! A little TMI
My 1yr old is constipated bad.
She has drank some prune juice (told to give as needed by her doctor). She is having trouble getting it out. She gets to pushing an starts crying soo bad because it hurts so bad. Is there anything more to do or just let her get it on her own???
@ax2momma hey I don't blame you. I don't do that with my son either. I'd rather find a natural way of dealing with things.
@first.time.mommy true. I did give it to her at 1 month cause the doctor told us to since she had that problem it's seems to work well. A. Its natural I hate to even think of trying other things (I will if I have to just would rather not)
@ax2momma lol he is only 12 days old though. It may be affect her differently
@ax2momma it's worked for my son. In a couple hours maybe over night he has diarrhea and it was so bad he had it to his knees.
If you push her legs back while she's trying to push be super careful because you can force a tear..my doctor warned me about it and it freaked me out. Also a qtip with Vaseline and just run it along the edge to try to relax the muscles..good luck!
You can take her temperature, rectally..and sometimes that'll help. You may also need to get suppositories, my little one needs them..they soften everything up and make it so much easier for him to go. You can't use them often but every once in a while! Also try half prune juice, half water! A warm bath or a warm compress on her belly! Ugh we have the same issues..hopefully it happens its so hard to watch 😣
KY works great for my 2 year old! He's rarely constipated but when he is I always use it
@tyoungdeer never thought about ky I did try the Vaseline just a little around her butt as she was pushing. But not sure it really helped.
When my son gets like that I put KY jelly around his butt and it works wonders, some people say use Vaseline but I feel like it could stop them up more..
@tworuzgirls yes it makes me feel horrible :( especially when she is crying bc it hurts
@tworuzgirls I just pushed on her knees she just ran off an started pooping went back an checked couple mins later an she got a big piece out !! I'm going to keep an eye on her an she should continue to poop with all the prunes she has had today!
@aztec.mom I have been holding her legs to chest she fights me on it but I keep trying. I'm hoping if she runs around a little she will squat somewhere an try to poop. (That's normally what she does) she hides lol
@mamaprince I have been doing the belly massage !! Never done thw rectal temp before may need to look that up. So far she has had 5oz of juice. I have gave her more just trying to get her to drink it.
@proudmommyoftwo_ as of rigjt now no. Tbh you can see the tip of the turd sticking put her but as she is pushing an crying.
@ax2momma I don't like taking medicine myself so I'm not going to put useless things in my sons body you know*
