Dealing with Constipation - Update

Baby C is no longer constipated (yay!) since starting formula again.  After being on formula for one week and no constipation, I decided to add 4 ounces of whole milk to his diet yesterday with the rest being formula.  He continues to poop without any straining and crying, but I can see that his poop has changed in consistency (more formed) with only adding 4 ounces of whole milk to his diet.  I'll probably keep this up for about 2 weeks before adding more whole milk to his diet.  I really don't want to go back to constipation.  Wow...with being a mommy, I am so paranoid about baby poop.  Hahaha.

In other news, he seems to be teething again.  He is now up to 14 teeth.  I've seen him take a few steps on his own, but he continues to like crawling over walking.  He does cruise all over the place though.  Yesterday, I caught him taking a few steps, but I pretended not to notice.  Sometimes, I think he does not want me to know that he can walk, so I can continue to carry him all over the place.  Who knows!

  1. I hope Baby C is doing better with the weaning. I just started the weaning process and am taking it slow, too.

    I can't believe your baby has 14 teeth! Does he like to have his teeth brushed? Baby J will let me brush his teeth only 50% of the time. But he only has 8 front teeth, so it's not too hard to clean his teeth.

  2. Fortunately, Baby C will always open his mouth for me, so I can brush his teeth easily. I just use a finger brush right now with no toothpaste. However, sometimes, he falls asleep early or while drinking his last bottle, so there are days when I don't brush them.

    Now the hard part is trying to wean off his bottle.
