Starting solids is quite the experience. To our dismay last night, Chloe became a bit constipated. Not knowing what to do, I called both of my sisters for advice. Linds never had this issue with Aiden and Jess used juice in the cereal (or the good ole q-tip ... gross!). I realized that it was my dumb mistake why she was backed up. For her reflux she was on Enfamil AR (which has rice starch already added to it). So she was getting rice in every bottle, rice added to her bedtime bottle, and rice from a spoon in the mornings. Can you say "rice-overload" ... no wonder she's having issues. We decided to take her off the AR formula and back onto regular Enfamil. We started that this morning. Lets just say that Chloe is back to normal. You know you're a parent when a hot topic is poop ... LOL! I just thought everyone would get a kick out of our stupidity :)

Feed her prunes next time you're having trouble - EVERYTHING will come out then! :)
Believe me it's not stupidity on your part. I think it happens to every new mom at some point :-)
