Baby Crazy's......Issues.....LOL

So Baby Crazy has been constipated on and off for like the last month. Its absolutely horrible. She cries and screams when she has to poo because she cant get it out, and I cry because her cries and screams are just so heart wrenching. Anyway - when we went for her 1yr well baby appointment I mentioned this to her pediatrician because we thought it was the milk. So - he said to take her off milk and make sure she got calcium. Took her off the milk - and she was still constipated. Bad business. I was having to give her enemas when she needed to poo because she couldn't get it out. Fast forward to this past Friday - we're in Dollar Tree and she just starts screaming and crying like some one's killing her. Her stomach was really hard so I knew she was trying to poo - but she couldn't get anything out. I gave her an enema in a Publix parking lot (made Boyfriend Crazy go in CVS and get baby enemas). She finally poos about 10 minutes later and was back to her happy, smiling self. I called Gigi Crazy and expressed my concern about the constipation issue - we came to the conclusion that Baby Crazy needed to see her doctor. Fast forward again to yesterday (Monday). I explained everything in detail to her pediatrician and he thinks that its just that she remembers every time she poos it hurts, so she's holding it until her body overrides her and makes her go. But by then her poo is so thick and solid she cant get it out without help. I was told to put her on 1tsp of milk of magnesia once a day for the next two weeks and if that doesn't help make things a little more regular then I'm to up the dose to 1 1/2tsp daily for two weeks. If that still doesn't work, I'm to call him.

She's so going to hate me when she gets older and reads this. I'm putting her business on the internet. LOL. I'm sure I'll be paying for her therapy too. Oh well. At least alls well in our little world. Well, for now anyway.
