Okay, so Baby #1 didn't go poo for a day and yesterday morning at 5AM the poor child woke up wailing! She normally sleeps until 8:30am or so and never cries like that. I woke up to find a jaw breaker size poo in her diaper. Sorry for the graphic analogy, but it really was firm and round. It wasn't her usual bowel movement. Usually, she goes later in the morning and it's greeny, yellow or browish green and a lot runnier in texture. After this poo, she was able to settle herself down only to wake up after a half an hour to poo again. This time, a little softer. Then after her usual cereal and bottle she pooed again! A normal poo this time and she was all smiles there after.
I called my mom out of concern and she told me that it's probably constipation due to her new diet. She is eating 2 tbs. of cereal now. So, yesterday I steamed and pureed some carrots and tried to give her a little water before she went to sleep.
This morning, things are back to normal. No constipation and she seems to like eating carrots for the first time. She likes it mixed in with her cereal :) I am so excited to introduce Baby #1 to new foods. I can't wait to steam and puree some more yummy veggies.
