| POOP? Where is it? |
| Though I am still breast feeding, we have started giving our 5 1/2 month old rice cereal with breast milk. He has been constipated ever since. He first went 3 days without pooping, and now he has went 4 days without pooping. Does anyone have any suggestions?
And can I say, isn't "poop" a fabulous word? |

I would talk to the pediatrician and probably interrupt the rice cereal which probably caused the constipation unless you ate something unusual.
"Poop" is a very serious business especially in kids.

| When we were breatfeeding Dylan was consipated all the time and we didn't give him rice. His doctor told us give him 1oz of prune or apple juice to 1.5oz of water. It might have worked or it could of been the time to go but about an hour later each time he would poop. Good luck. |

He ended up pooping, and now it has been another 5 days and no poop. The nurse said if he's passing gas, stomach gurgling, and he's eating and peeing ok, his stomach is not distended and he's not crying trying to poop, then give him time. But, she also said for me to call again (today) if he went 5 days without pooping.
We tried the prunes, that worked the last time, but not now...we quit giving him rice after that first time.
Now, I've had no comments on how fabulous the word "poop" is, and how funny the act itself can be. Twice, when the Wolf was about 1-2 months old, he shot poop across the room: funny, messy, and good for later embarassment! |

| Hello. I just read about oatmeal instead of rice cereal and am researching this. Does anyone know if oatmeal is better and safe? It has fiber. Rice cereal has no fiber. I have yet to call my Pediatrician about it, but will. Our son is 4 months old and we just started him on rice cereal this week. We do once per day. I do a scoop of formula with water and the rice cereal and make it soupy. I have read of the constipation possibility. |
