IN addition to that, I was told to use ONE TEASPOON of Canned Pumpkin (unsweetened all natural like you would use for a pie) once a day. (he was about 2lbs at the time) He absolutely loved the stuff, ate it right off the spoon.  It worked great, but it took about a week.
I know its heart breaking, he used to cry everytime he pooped, sometimes it sounded like a cat's meow,  but it got better and he's back to normal now.
I also had someone tell me to try baby suppositories, although I didn't need to get that drastic so I can't say if it works. |
Well, I tried the pumpkin. He doesn't like it and wont eat it. His butt is still swollen and seems to be oozing a clear liguid. just a little bit.
