Yay Poop!

Ok, so to some this post maybe a little too much info or kinda icky for some, but for our little family it is a very big deal! Parker has had constipation issues since the tender age of 3 months and it has been quite the ordeal. I have done every natural possible remedy, done what the doctors have told me and it still ends in crying, screaming and a very exhausted Parker by the time he is done. Finally after talking to the doctor about this on multiple occasions and deciding that it could not go on this way I call the doctors office and my doctor was out and I talked to another one. They asked me what I was doing and when they realized that I was already doing everything that they normally recommend, the suggested that I come in that morning. Finally we were getting some where. So, I took Parker in and the doctor asked questions, etc and said that we need a little something more. He said that what happens is that the baby has 1 painful experience and associates that bad experience with each one after and so they hold on until they can't anymore and it is even worse so we need to give them "positive" experiences. Now Parker is on Miralax and it has been great! It is kinda "sad" that I get so excited every time he poops. I would rather have to give him a bath and wash his clothes than have him go through what he has. So YAY POOP I say! He has been on the Miralax for 2 weeks, about 3 more to go and hopefully we will be out of the woods!
