yikes! yeah, that happened with O. well we had to use a suppository but once the hard one came out, man oh man did she let loose.

I'd also lay off the prune juice for a while. I think my pediatrician told me i should be concerned if LO alternates constipation and diarrhea. It seems like in this case it's triggered by the juice,

I know how sucky constipation can be! Hope you figure things out soon.

@wheres_c: we have wicked constipation issues. i bought pediatric suppositories per my doctor, they were behind the counter at the pharmacy (CVS). I cut them in half the long way, lube them up (water-based lube, like KY jelly) and push it slowly. that's only when she seriously hasn't gone. prunes, prune juice haven't worked for us anymore so the ped just started her on miralax daily to keep her regular. so far so good!

@wheres_c: be prepared that if you insert too fast and/or in the wrong direction, it may hurt. if I do it the right way and slowly she could care less, but the one time it went in at an angle she screamed bloody murder (so sad!!) and there was a little bit of blood in her diaper I usually let her watch mickey mouse while I do it.
