The pedi said it was totally normal for a breastfed baby to go a long time without pooping; his little body was using the food very efficiently, she said. Of course, every time he passed gas, we'd look at each other and wonder what died inside him. But eventually he pooped and we all felt better. He had to have a bath it was so bad, but overall not that big a deal. (In hindsight - at the time I was really worried.)Janahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07708045514684328956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-77128666409918824272010-12-07T18:49:38.597-08:002010-12-07T18:49:38.597-08:00いい仕事。続ける!いい仕事。続ける!私のコスモスhttp://watashinokosumosu.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-41865199447535780892010-12-07T13:50:30.141-08:002010-12-07T13:50:30.141-08:00er, the potty thing... just hang on.

I tried basically everything I could think of (bc it drove me insane) but what worked was praising successes and big time ignoring the "accidents" - which, let me tell you... there was a LOT of screaming in my pillow.

Her pediatrician said that breastfed babies sometimes go as long as a week without pooping. The fact that her baby's stomach was still soft was supposedly a good sign.<br /><br />Anyway, I haven't dealt with this myself, but I thought I'd share her experience so you'd know that it does seem to be a relatively common thing, and likely doesn't mean that anything is wrong with the baby!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942269316108576622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30354864.post-53636483761445450962010-12-07T10:56:04.622-08:002010-12-07T10:56:04.622-08:00My sympathies!

His taking attention away from her resulted in potty training failure with 2 accidents in one week (and regression of speaking goo-goo-gaa-gaa for things). <br />More or less you have to start again with a rewards system, or so we found. And a little special time when you can. Perhaps he feels a bit out of sorts when you are sleep deprived and trying to manage to do what you can and he still can't vocalize that he needs a little extra attention?<br />I went through the "let's not sleep but cat nap" phase with my son until he was 11 months. Good thing my tubes were tied cause I was seriously thinking of sending him back!Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07623000022894957265noreply@blogger.com
