Poop Panic

Kayla will probably hate me 10 years from now for posting this - then again, maybe she won't. It is, after all, part of her transition from baby human to bigger baby human. So, she's been on a supplemental diet of rice cereal, bananas, and vegetables (sweet potato, peas, and carrots) for the past week - which almost means her poop's all grown-up.

While we usually dread changing poopy diapers (we've had our fair share of leaks and explosions), we've been praying for one for the past three days. My baby hadn't gone to the bathroom for three days - she did a little Thurs & Fri but they were so so tiny. Her doc said it was normal now that she's on solids but real relief came this afternoon when her babysitter emailed to let me know - she had finally gone, half-a-diaper load and the best news in a while! She, however, did cry in the process of trying to go. Poor thing.

We're gonna go easy on the rice cereal and prob stick to more fruits and vegetables. Does anyone have a fail-safe formula that'll fix poop panic for good?
