Advice?

Yes, I am using my blog to solicit advice and probably gross out a few people along the way. Emery is having MAJOR poop problems (the situation is so serious it warrants me referring to her by her full name). She has been pooping little rocks for 2 weeks now. I mean if I threw them against the window it would break. I have tried everything - warm baths, prune/pear juice, prunes, suppository, etc, and nothing has worked. As someone who is extremely interested in nutrition and how food works in the body, I am stumped. She is dehydrated and needs liquid but she plays with cups, sippie cups and water bottles more than she drinks from them. She learned the "motor boat" sound which she does constantly now! I swear she is loosing so much syliva which isn't helping, she looked like she was foaming at the mouth when I got her home today. She had a very rough day today which prompted this post. Lets just say I am very appreciative of one of her Baldwin teachers going above and beyond the call of duty with a jar of vaseline today. That is all I am going to say about that. So, if anyone has any other advice, please let me know!

    I'm sure you've already thought of this, but have you changed formula? (Or is she even on formula). My pediatrician always says peaches, pears, prunes. I know you've already tried them, but what I did with Lane was put the peach food in a bottle then add water to make 6-8 oz and I make the hole in the nipple bigger. He downs it! He'll drink two a day easily. It's helped. Maybe that way she'll actually get some water plus the fruit. I wish I had better ideas! Sorry.

    Thanks for the advice!! She is she drinking 100% breast milk which is also surprising why she is having these issues...

    I remember Sinclair had this problem when I first introduces solids. But my Pediatrician says no water under the age of one. Sinclairs system just evened out eventually. Or you could try taking out one solid food feeding and adding a breast milk feeding. Sorry you are having this prob,hope this helps. Love you,sum
