big guy was really pushing last weekend. Like really pushing to get out some poo. His face would turn red, he would grunt like he was playing tennis, and at one point he started making a fist in an attempt to get the poo out! So, I took action... in the form of prunes. We had a lovely bagel breakfast on sunday and I bought some prune juice. I did half prune juice, half water in the sippy cup. It was big guy's first juice- he loved it. Joke's on him, it was actually good for him.
Over the next several days, the poops started coming. THey were really thick. Then on wednesday- success! He had a huge blowout right before he left the nanny. Then he had another huge one before dinner. He looked so relieved and so was I. Then I decided that maybe every couple of days, big guy should have prunes. We hadn't had them yet. Turns out, he LOVES them! like a little birdie opening his mouth for more. Here's hoping he'll be more regular!
