...or scarcity rather??
Kolby didn't poop for four days -- so we called the doctor. He didn't sound very worried because Kolby wasn't constipated, but said we could give him water to help him go. Kolby still doesn't like the bottle, so doc suggested we try a sippy cup since some babies don't like the bottle. So, we borrowed a cup from Lukas and Cade. Surprisingly, he didn't fuss while drinking the water (maybe because it was just a little bit of water). Doc also mentioned that breastmilk is like high octane fuel and is easily absorbed, so that's probably what's happening to it.
Three days later - SURPRISE! Kolby was in his favorite position: propped up on a pillow after eating...and yaay!! We have a winner! I asked Kolby if he pooped and he made the biggest, gummiest smile -- so proud of himself! Can't say I've been happier to hear that sound, smell that smell, or change that diaper... I'll save you the visual and put pics up of the Kauai trip instead later.
I'm sorry for all the poop stories, but that's all babies really do...eat, sleep, and poop. Nah, he does play, but they're not as fun as poop stories.
Haha! Isn't that the truth! Glad he finally pooped, it's scary when their bodies are not doing what they're supposed to be doing.
