All breastfed and didnt poop for 14-16 days at a time. I was told this was "normal". Whatever. This also occurred when on low iron formula. <br />Prunes. Pureed jarred prunes were our best friend. It ensured that they pooped, never had too much gas, nor did they have runs. I started out with about 1/4 of a jar, maybe less, it can be more potent to some. My youngest is at 1/2 a jar and she poops like a pro, lol. Hope this helps. Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092523395981307144.post-20773631176236509672011-02-17T18:31:24.524-06:002011-02-17T18:31:24.524-06:00So sorry you are having to struggle with.

Maybe he does not want to drink the formula, which I know is not what he needs to do, but maybe he just will eat REAL food instead of that?<br /><br />I hope you get answers at ACH. I feel so bad for Samuel and you guys as his parents because I cannot imagine how hopeless you feel :(BurningAwayJThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00757582742053434216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092523395981307144.post-19956740154169414272011-02-17T07:25:56.822-06:002011-02-17T07:25:56.822-06:00I'm really sorry for you... but you did not li...I'm really sorry for you... but you did not list spoon as a way to feed him his bottle. it's going to take way longer, but at least you won't be worried about dehydration.Amynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092523395981307144.post-10172800922080692182011-02-17T01:20:09.456-06:002011-02-17T01:20:09.456-06:00My heart goes out to you!

I wish I could give you some advice, but everything I could think of you have already tried. My OT has helped me a bunch with feeding issues. Lila Kate has had her times when she didn't want to eat either, but usually when she doesn't feel good. I will start praying right now for sweet Samuel and for answers so you guys are not stressed out all of the time. I so know how that feels. :( <br /><br />Head up sweet girl! Samuel looks so big and just absolutely beautiful! I could just eat him up!Misty McAlisternoreply@blogger.com
