A Penny For Your Thoughts...
For the last few weeks my poor little boy has been very constipated. I'm sure if he was older he'd probably die of embarrassment that I am actually blogging about this. Nothing in his diet has really changed. He gets plenty of fiber and he drinks alot of fluids. So what gives? I've tried prunes and that seems to work but he's not too fond of them. I tried giving him some fig newtons but he doesn't like them. Veronica is eating the same foods and is having a perfectly normal cycle. Anyone know a good remedy to help with constipation that isn't medicinal? I'm about ready to call the pediatrician and make an appointment.

You are right in believing that he would be mortified if he were older. Try lots of fruit. Since he doesn't like prunes try a few plums, peaches and pears. I've also heard that very fatty foods help too, like oily potato chips and such, but I have never tried that. Cranberry juice might help too.
Orange juice and lemon aide gives Elise the runs. I think she would be mortified as well.
