Goodbye Vacation - Hello Constipation

Here's a picture of our big girl drinking from her sippy cup for the very first time:


Warning:  this post may contain a little TOO much information for my non-parent friends.
We have a constipated baby on our hands.  She is quite cheerful, all things considered, but the poor thing just can't go.  I've tried just a few of the natural options so far - prunes, pears, soaking her in a warm bath, rubbing her tummy, letting her jump in her jumper to get some movement, extra fluids; alas, it looks like we're going to have to try some of the (*ahem*) more invasive (yet natural) options starting tomorrow...
Taking suggestions now!

Even big girls still need a little help from mommy every now and then...

  3. Aw man, Dena struggled with that too!!! We did the same with the eating regiment you listed above. But on top of that, she was adjusted and I did give her a live probiotic (go to a health food store for good stuff, comes chilled in the fridge)
    Man Jenny, I feel for ya! I hated seeing the little bean struggle like that. We did have to use suppositories at times too! It did get that bad. Will be praying!!
