Constipated

One unfortunate result of introducing food solids to our baby has been his apparent inability to "dispose" of them. He went for days without pooping.

So we cut down on rice cereal and tried to give him prunes (which he does NOT like) and apple-prune juice. That didn't seem to help, until we finally decided to try a glycerin suppository. The desired effect took only an instant, and out came days of stored solids, in all their aromatic glory.

On the plus side, Ben --and us-- feel a lot better now. And as much as Ben hates prunes (oops, it looks like we went overboard with them...), he absolutely adores peas, and carrots too.
