Mummy's breast milk is diminishing and Baby Sheri's appetite has increased. So, we have no choice but to supplement with more formula milk. Nowadays, she can drink about 4 oz ( 120 ml) of milk each time. I suppose it is the formula milk that is causing baby Sheri to have difficulties in poo-poo-ing as formula milk does not have the right proportion of fats and proteins unlike breast milk. Poor baby Sheri! Mummy and daddy try to encourage her to use more strength when she is having a difficult time in poo-poo-ing. Amazingly, baby Sheri does respond to us even though she may not be able to say it. She seems to understand very well what we are trying to tell her. Mummy tries to give her more honey-flavored water, but it does not seem to help very much. Yesterday night, Daddy read from the internet that prune juice may help. So, we are giving it a try. Hopefully, it will help relieve baby Sheri from her constipation.

Hi hi...shouldn't be giving bb honey at this stage. Think if I'm not wrong only when they are 1 yr old or older. Yes, prune juice will help. You might want to try diluted version first to see if bb takes it well. Oh yes, constipation is quite painful. Do let her have more water. You might want to try barley water too if your doc is ok with it.
Oops! Really! I don't know that we cannot give bb honey water. Anyway, I gave her honey water earlier because she refused to take in any water. Nowadays, she has started to learn how to drink water. Sometimes, she even prefers water than milk. What a weird baby! Anyway, the prediatrician here advised us not to give her any water. I still remember how the pediatrician look at me strangely when I gave Sheri some water to drink before the vaccination.
