Prune Juice Anyone?

So tonight was girls night out!  I was celebrating my birthday-martini, dinner, cheesecake yum.  But I must say the highlight at the end of my evening was going to Ralphs to buy something my baby needed for the morning...PRUNE JUICE.  There I am all dressed up in the 10 items or less lane...with just a bottle of Prune Juice....I wonder what the young man at check out thought oh well.

That's right my baby is constipated or so I think.  He hasn't poo'ed in 7 days yikes.  I called the pediatrician and the nurse told me to give him 1 oz of juice diluted with 1 oz of water.  Also to stick a rectal thermometer or q-tip with petroleum jelly in his bottom to stimulate a bowel movement.  I know graphic, but if your baby has the same problem..you understand.  For more tips.

He started solids 2 weeks ago- rice cereal and had one bowel movement, so I thought everything was fine, but that was last week.  I also gave him his first bottle of formula to supplement my breastmilk  yesterday which is diminishing.  So for now no more rice or formula till my baby is free!!!

Ahh the joys of motherhood.
