I was reading back awhile and noticed you said something about Florence. Were you talking about "Flo town" :D AL?? I am from Bham and know several peeps from Florence and the tri cities-small world and small town in Florence. Your little girl is precious! We just had a little girl in August. She is getting two teeth right now too, yikes a million! And with the pooping, we went thru this too-but the juice worked. Have you tried to nasty but tried and true thermometer up the bum? The doc says the rectal stimulation helps get it flowing. Poor thing! Is she on formula-sometimes the iron can make it hard for them to go.<br /><br />Anyways, y'all are a precious family and I love reading all about your goings on!Susannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06525637050244402378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458231407733719259.post-63100492424342376072010-04-16T14:26:38.326-05:002010-04-16T14:26:38.326-05:00it comes in stages.

Giving her a dry clean washcloth to chew on may sooth her... it sure helped Adele.<br />I also asked the mom of my little one about being a bit stopped up... which their first child was all the time! She said their pediatrician recommended putting a little karo syrup in her bottle and that sugar pushes everything out. She said she was concerned about the amount of sugar but it didn't affect her other than it made her go! 2 tps of syrup per bottleAshleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584184563741725074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458231407733719259.post-6792401030829183392010-04-14T20:09:39.832-05:002010-04-14T20:09:39.832-05:00I just read through several of your latest posts. ...I just read through several of your latest posts. <br /><br />1. Rice is a binder. Try dropping the rice from her bottle and see if that helps with her constipation. It also might help to put a teaspoon of Karo syrup in her morning bottle to get things moving.<br /><br />2. Tylenol. Tylenol. Tylenol. And once she hits 6 months, MOTRIN! <br /><br />3. You should visit www.babycenter.com and find MC's birth club. Within minutes of posting your question, you will get a ton of answers!<br /><br />Good luck. She is a precious little person.Laura @ our messy messy life.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18145762240325532244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4458231407733719259.post-85589370008486238402010-04-14T13:23:42.874-05:002010-04-14T13:23:42.874-05:00whew, didn't realize I had written a book!

Orajel was our best friend, along with tylenol and motrin. He would literally wake up at night exactly 4 hours after taking tylenol or 6 hours after taking ibuprofen so I knew he was in pain. When he'd wake up at night, he got another dose of meds and more orajel and right back to bed. As he got older, teething tablets helped alot and then they even have teething strips (like Listerine strips) that he liked. Another mom told me to take the tylenol dropper and actually rub the tylenol on the gums. Seemed to work!<br />If you don't have one, get a mesh feeder. You can get it at target. When he was fussy from teething during the day, we'd put him in his chair, put in some frozen fruit (or just ice worked as well) and let him go to town chewing on it. Numbed his gums and kept him busy. That was probably around 6 months, when he could grasp things well and sit up on his own well. Frozen mango and frozen bananas were his favorites. Oh and grapes! you could probably hold it for her now and just put some ice cubes in it.<br />Just remember "this too shall pass." As soon as one thing gets better, its another new challenge to deal with. But it gets easier and easier and nothing lasts forever! <br />Hope this helps!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846714529954598000noreply@blogger.com
