Give me your poo...

Ever since we started Allison on solids, she has been constipated. First week of rice cereal, no poo. Had to give her prune juice which had prebiotics in there. A lot of poo came out and I was satisfied. Second week, butternut squash, no poo. Prune juice didn't work this time. I had to force it on her, even feeding it with a syringe, drop by drop. Luckily I found out that food that start with the letter p help - prunes, peas, peaches, plum. Peas is one of the next foods I was going to serve her so I did and it worked! Twice! Never been so happy to smell poo. I made a good amount for the freezer by putting in an ice cube tray and then transfering it to a container.

6 month update

On March 3, Allison turned 6 months old. She is also 16 lbs now. I can already see things starting to change. She is able to stay up for 2 hrs after the first feeding instead of 1.5, and able to stay up for 3 hours during the day instead of 2 hours. For feedings, we still have her eating every 2 hours with an avg of 4 oz, I will try to space that out further and eat more each time. Today, I switched all the bottle nipples from level 1 to 2 to have a faster flow.

Allison is rolling around and around like a pro now. We put her on a blanket on the floor for the first time and she rolled over multiple times. She is getting stronger, too. When she grabs onto our finger to pull herself up, she pushes off her feet to a standing position.

We will be feeding her solids very soon. Avocados will be her first food, I am just waiting for it to ripen. Then sweet potatoes, peas, and butternut squash. It will be in puree form. She's definitely ready and I look fwd to seeing what new adventures this will bring.

She keeps going and going and going...
