I thought we won’t encounter this (not at this age) with baby Migs since I didn’t have to think about this situation when my girls were younger. It is normal for him not to poop for several days since he is breastfed so I wasn’t worried at all during the first two days. Yesterday, he was fuzzy and gassy so I put manzanilla on his tummy. He was quiet for awhile but around 6pm he started crying. I did everything that I can think of. I feed him, had him burped, changed his nappy but nothing soothe him. We cuddled until 8pm when I decided to bring him to our room. He was quiet at first so I lay him on the bed. I think he was tired from crying that he closed his eyes while we were feeding and he went to sleep. He slept through the night and asked for milk for a couple of times only.

He woke up early this morning. He was fuzzy again, when I checked his nappy it was full. Instead of changing him, I just let him wear his pajama. A little later, he peed and poop. Thank God he was so relieved after. He was even laughing and screaming with delight. If only the videocam was within reach, I would have recorded it and have the youtube video downloader, I would have loved to share it with everyone. It would have been your amusement too.

If I can only pinpoint what made Migs constipated, if it was the food that I ate or the weather (?) or was it the timing? I just wish that he won’t experience it again. It’s so depressing seeing him cry.
