Every since Abby had runny poo we gave her Lacteofort and some other strange powdery concoction. And every since THEN her poop has protested becoz we meddled with her God-given ability to poop. When she was on breastmilk, she pooped wonderfully. Then the teething started... well, upon hindsight, it looked like her extremely runny poo that lasted for more than 3 weeks was due to excess salivation that comes from teething. Well, none of the three pediatricians we went to told us that. We gave her the 2 powdery sachets a day - half a sachet each feed - and she stopped diahorreaing. In fact she stopped pooping altogether. Then she couldn't poop. For close to a whole week she couldn't. Then she let out a BIG AND HUGE one when we went to pick my mum up at Harbour Front. She cried for about half an hour after that coz I think it was too painful/smelly/shocking/relieving/etc. Well. Eversince THEN, she poops every couple of days. It didn't help when I stopped breastfeeding coz school was madness. (Imagine staying in the loo twice or thrice a day for about 45min each time pumping milk. It's smelly loo.) So I stopped. And she went on formula. Very convenient, but it's bad news for her poop. Started giving her solids, also bad for her poop. Today she cried twice... poor baby had a pained expression and from the diaper sample, you could tell she gave up pooping after a bit. The pellets would kill if they were expelled from a shotgun.
And she refuses to drink water. She'd take a about 5 spoonfuls if it was plain and fed from spoon. If bottled, sippy cup, mixed with prunes, gripe water - NO LUCK. Warm, cold - NO LUCK. Now regret not giving her water from birth. Well, for all that baby fats, I wish we could cut down a bit on the feedings and water parade her instead.
Taking her to the PD either today or tomorrow to see if anything else can be done. When all else fails, change the parents. :'(
