Shawn finally pooped today, a mere SIX FREAKING days after his last bowel movement. Of course, this was after pedialyte, pear juice, prune juice, suppositories, more screaming than I thought anything could ever possibly scream, countless diaper checks after semi-encouraging gas explosions--disappointing exercises for all involved, an x-ray (which said, "Hey, your kid has some poop in his bowels" - so enlightening), two frantic doctor calls, a doctor visit, a potential hospital visit if things didn't improve real soon (we were SO close), no sleep for anyone in the family for quite a while, a volatile few nights between me and the hubby, and us going insane.
Today the poop finally came. He is feeling better, I think. I hope. Let this poop thing continue, please. We. Love. Poop.
But now Jason is constipated, too. At least we know a few things to try...

That is such a terrible experience. I had to dilute my kids formula just a little. They used it with iron and it really did a thing on my kids. Good for Shawn, hope that doesn't happen again. Thank heavens for the poop. Love ya Judy
1-2 tsp. Karo Syrup per bottle! Try it. Wynde
Sorry, I have no sage advice, but I'm glad he finally pooped. Hope Jason doesn't have to endure the same. Get some rest.

Poo is such a good thing! Glad he is feeling better. Undiluted apple juice works pretty good too. Isn't life great when everyone is moving ;o)
Love and hugs to all,
Jen
