his first constipation! Ouch!!

painful as i wrote. last nite carmel couldnt pass motion. His stools were 'stucked' and it was so hard that he couldnt pass it out.

For the past 2 days, he din poo and it was quite normal for him not to poo for 2 days. however, we realised that he might hv sufferred from not drinking enough water. Just days ago, we started giving him powdered milk Enfac. I'm not sure if this is a result of that! But this is definitely a nightmare for us... I was changing him to pj and realised he wanted to poo. I quickly moved him from basin to the toilet bowl, but he let out a cry. To summarise, both of us argued how best we can help him relieve his pain and we couldnt have imagine we could have reacted this way..

But thanked God, he calmed down after 20 mins and managed to poo his ever HARD stools!
(ps... as parent, must always remember to stay calm no matter how painful your child is feeling so that you can think straight and do the right thing at the right time!)

恭喜发财, 新年进步
