Hester we've been trying to feed him cereal in the morning. Weetabix, porridge, shredded wheat, anything he'll accept! He's VERY suspicious of the spoon though! DH discovered if we give him the bowl to dip his fingers in he's a lot more cooperative and actually feeds it to himself too. It's a mixture of getting the spoon in his mouth or letting him feed himself with a loaded spoon!
Oh he won't drink water, from anything! I've tried mixing in some prune juice to sweeten it up but he just battles it off me! I'm just leaving the sippy cup lying around and letting him have a little suck when he shows interest!
Sarah I guzzle water at night, but really need to push myself to remember during the day! I'm rubbish, I know for my bladder health I need to drink three litres of water a day! I'm drinking water here know though.
My doctor has said to give him Lactulose twice a day for a week, she wants to avoid him retaining it through fear of going. He did quite a lot of poops yesterday so hopefully his bum will have a day off today and a chance to recover a little, hopefully by then things will have softened up a little.
Oh I got a really good tip on the birth club which was to soak dried prunes in a little boiling water, leave over night and you have prune juice
What a simple idea! In the UK tinned prunes are in apple juice and it's pointless buying a litre of prune juice when he only needs a few teaspoons of the stuff!
Hester Noah needs to learn how far to shove food in his mouth, keep offering the same sizes of food, he'll get it soon.
