But yes, the suppository was instantaneous relief for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-emergency-help#post-993526 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 14:16:09 +0000 tororojo 993526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just reading about this today in Baby 411...they recommend a tsp of prune juice or karo syrup at each feeding to help pull water into the stool if constipation is an ongoing problem. Maybe that could help for the time being since she's been having trouble for a couple of weeks? (I can't see that working as fast as a suppository, though) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-emergency-help#post-993132 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:29:19 +0000 sorrycharlie 993132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have had a lot of these issues. Miralax can take a day or two--for instant help, glycerin pediatric suppositories. I used regular KY with it to help it go in easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-emergency-help#post-993123 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:23:58 +0000 mrsjazz 993123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Yep! I'm doing exactly what you suggested right now :) Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-emergency-help#post-993121 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:23:28 +0000 mrsjazz 993121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2PeasinaPod: I tried the thermometer last night, it didn't work :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-emergency-help#post-993115 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:22:08 +0000 mrsjazz 993115@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: @Orvis18: @mrbee: Thanks guys! I think I'm going to the drugstore and then to pick up LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-emergency-help#post-993105 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:20:09 +0000 2PeasinaPod 993105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Agreed. Or the thermometer up there usually does the trick for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-emergency-help#post-993103 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:19:43 +0000 mrbee 993103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: for immediate relief, a suppository can really help. We used them twice in emergencies...</p> <p>I'd also start Miralax to help things along! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-emergency-help#post-993102 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:19:17 +0000 bushelandapeck 993102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to us a couple of times. I would suggest calling your pediatrician and asking about a suppository. We bought it for LO but didn't end up having to use it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-emergency-help#post-993095 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:18:13 +0000 MamaMoose 993095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Get a baby suppository. It should work right away.</p> <p>ETA: If I remember correctly you're not working at the moment? I would pick her up early and do the suppository if she's in obvious pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/constipation-emergency-help#post-993060 Tue, 06 Aug 2013 12:08:51 +0000 mrsjazz 993060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've never had an issue with constipation, my LO usually poops once a day. In the past 2 weeks she has been constipated. She hasn't gone since Saturday. I looked at the constipation posts and she definitely has those Type 1 hard poops when it finally does come out.</p> <p>Her nanny just texted me, LO is crying and miserable because she can't poop and it hurts too much. I think she's constipated because 1) she hasn't been drinking as much water (even when offered) 2) she's on iron supplements 3) she's been more picky about what she eats lately.</p> <p>Does anyone know of anything I can do right now to help her poop? I may go pick her up early from the nanny. She's been drinking prune juice, I've done tummy massages, warm baths. I hate seeing her in pain :( </p>
