Being a mom has turned me into a crazy, paranoid and poop-obsessed woman. I am always thinking about poo. Did Ashley poo today? Was the poo hard or soft? How many times did she go? About a year ago when Ashley experienced constipation and had phobia doing her poopie business, I freaked out. Since then, I have been giving her one fruit a day (papaya, dragonfruit, kiwi, banana or apple), lots of water and also let her snack on prunes. About a week ago, she began to poo only every alternate day. Each time when she does her business, she would strain a bit. You know me……….. I start to worry again. That’s because if she start straining, she would develop a fear of doing her poopie business. In order to make her stool soft, I went out and bought this :-
Has anyone tasted this Sunsweet Prune juice before? I tried it and it was so eeeeeeekkk. Quite bitter and a bit sourish. Nevertheless I made Ashley drink a cup. She protested but I forced her to drink it….hehehehehe. Evil mommy eh? I’m only doing it for her own good. I let her drink a cup every other day and now she is ok with it *smile* As for her poop, it’s softer of course but still doing it on alternate days. I think I will continue to buy the Prune Juice for her 🙂
tried this but don’t really like the taste, so i used it for cooking instead 😛
why not try yogurt?? its very very effective!
Sherilyn used to drink prune juice everyday too to combat constipation. Fresh milk also helps. Dragon fruit and papaya and lots of veggie also help. I notice that if Sher does not eat enough food, she will not poo everyday. Makes sense coz no bulk mar right?
aiyor, i tried this once. more like i kena diarrhea! visiting the loo non stop for a day! now im like nooooooo way! 🙁
guess it works diff for everyone, not me! sob!
so far, no problem with shan leo’s poo-poo…so, don’t need that for now.
btw i have got an award for you. hop over to my blog to check it out now!
I feed Bryan yogurt. Also apple juice is good for constipation. That’s why they say to avoid apple juice when having diarrhoea.
relax…..
no need to be over gan cheong…
I think some kids don’t poo-poo everyday right?? No ah? Also depends on how much food intake they had kan.
we’re all obsessesed about poops. Coz when they constipate… it hurts us more than it hurts them!
i tried the prune juice before, but i hate the taste! maybe you can try yogurt..
i think eating the prune works fine too 🙂
We have the same problem here too so my mom said I might be feeding Darrius the wrong milk powder which cause constipation….
If I’m not wrong, you are using Dugrow too rite?
sei lor…i never ask one wor…shud I start asking???
My girl poo poo everyday but recently the poo poo quite hard leh, until she describes it is hot dog… haha.. This prune juice can help her ahh?
