Little Help Please


Man it's tough being a baby.  Our little man has gone from having his first cold to being constipated.  I think if he had a choice he would choose the cold.  Talking to his doctor, she recommended giving him some water.  Well it turns out Little O is not very fond of water. Owen loves his milk and he was quick to put together that water is not milk.  So after making some confused faces he refused to swallow the water.  Then he proceeded to angrily coo at us for a good 10 minutes.  Like I said - it's tough being a baby.

P.S. I am not cruel enough to take a picture of Owen struggling so the above picture is from happier, easier times.

Uh oh. Sorry to hear this! Hope Owen will accept water very soon.

So, you got a bit of a firm talking-to when you tried to give him some water. That must have been cute, even if the reason for his distress really wasn't.

Love to you all, and my fingers are crossed that this problem will pass. :0)

Talk to the doctor about watered down apple juice.
Also, try laying him on his back and doing a bit of the running man, then gently pushing and holding his legs in.(hope that made sense.) It sure worked for Claire. Good luck. Love and miss you all bunches!
Love Great Aunt Maryann

We also did the leg pushing thing with Bella. It works pretty well but she does not like it! She has been pretty constipated too =[ So rough being a baby!
