Difficulty pooping

[Legomom]

Good morning, everyone! Starting late last night our pinkies started having to work a bit harder doing their business. The poop is mustard yellow and very firm today, but it is definitely taking a lot more stimulation to get them to produce. (Peeing is not a problem. :) ) They are not bloated and they are eating just fine. I don't have any grape or apple juice handy....any other suggestions to hold them over until I can get to the store?

Thanks!

pure pumpkin...mushed of course!

[Legomom]

They are still pinkies....do I mix a bit with their esbilac?

[Legomom]

If I'm going to give them some apple juice, how much?

any poops yet?

[Legomom]

Oh, we've got poops, but it takes a lot of effort and stimulating for the triplets to get em out. We did add acidopholous (sp?) to the formula today and I picked up a bottle of apple juice. Any ideas how much to give?

I may have made a big booboo, but when DigiandChipper had the horrible no poop time, I made their formula with 1/3 apple juice for a few feedings. 'Course, that didn't work and neither did honey or anything else. Finally had to stick their bottoms in a warm bath and massage, then slip a warm rice buddy in bed with them.. But, they weren't pinkies, either. Sorry for this rambling reply that helped in no way:shakehead
