Constipation issues. I do not get it. We're on hypo formula(nothing less harsh out there) we do NO solids that constipate(bananas, rice, apples) We do the P foods at least once a day(sometimes twice)- And she still has issues- They're still fully formed(mostly) and hard- though she never seems to be in pain going.

Sometimes, if she doesn't go for awhile, all I literally have to do is wipe her bum and she'll go- I am lost for ideas. We've tried the Karo(does work but am seriously concerned I'll rot her teeth) extra water, prune/pear juice- and not too much of a difference. This started when I was told to thicken her bottles because of her reflux(wonder if these two things are related). I've since stopped- so she gets normal bottles. She seems to be getting enough because she def wets a lot of diapers!

I'd think if there was something really wrong that this would have started way earlier. I keep researching and their are a ton of diseases/disorders that cause this but they're apparent at birth. As a newborn the kid pooped so much she had a rash for her first few weeks! And she continued to do well until we started the oatmeal. Ughhh!!

Her doctor keeps saying if she isn't in pain she's not constipated. But, she grunts like crazy and her poopies are hard. We're on the hunt for a new pedi- hopefully, this will be a thing of the past soon- or she'll outgrow her sensitive belly. Wonder if I should stop all solids and see if that is the issue...
