Don't get me wrong we are visiting Dad at the office and his atlas is holding like a champ. We have gotten some cranial sacral massages, both produced poop the next day! And Saturday we are visiting a chiro that has a Pediatrics Diplomat degree. Not just because he isn't pooping, more because his little muscles and body seem to be holding onto some birth trauma all along his left side which is probably the culprit in the poop crisis!
I personally am trying to drink as much water as I can, which is easy if I'm at home but if we are out and about the water bottle is always the one thing I forget! At least it's just the water bottle. I'm also taking a pro biotic when I remember...
Anyways, he pooped Thursday when we were at post-natal yoga, and we hadn't done any intervention yet that week. Friday was a hard day, he screamed most of it! He later got another massage and a kick a** chiro adjustment and went pooped again on Saturday. I am hoping we are on the up swing?!
I guess my point in sharing is that it can be hard at times to trust our babies body and even our own intuition. We are quick to rule certain situations as problems and want them taken care of as quickly as possible. Ask yourself instead, what the reason or cause for the situation might be. Do you need to intervene, will it correct it's self or does it need just a little guidance? When I was reading up on 'poop patterns of nursing babies' I found lots of indication that while it is very normal, it's not as heard of today because we intervene after a 3 day drought. In some countries breast feed babies can go 1 month... can you imagine the smell of their gas after one month?! Parker's already smells like a grown mans' whose been eating bratwurst with sauerkraut and baked beans!

Hmmmm...... I just want to toss something out there.. some personal experience... of things I've seen at the AFC... Possible Lumbar or Sacral subluxation.. ANYONE? ANYONE? I don't want alot of backlash here.. it's just a suggestion... I don't want to step on any toes here.. or blow anyone's mind... I'm just saying .. might want to check... haha.. but seriously.. might want to check... Puffy's midwife gave them Silica tabs to dissolve in Madison's Milk.. TALK ABOUT COLON BLOW... So think about it...anyhow.... Love you guys...
or you could just hold him upside down by the femurs for a while... Hollar at me...
Dr. Andrews, thank you for all the helpful suggestions. So let me get this right... there are nerves below C1? Just kidding... we had found subluxations in his lumbar & sacrum and adjusted them both! Must have a Delt reunion soon to see everyone, including all the new additions! Tell Zach 'what up?!'
