The poor little grunting Pips.
This girl has been fussy and grunting like a man, for almost three weeks.  I couldn’t quite figure out what the problem was because she was having about one dirty diaper a day.  But then a thought came into my mind as I was giving her Poly-Vi-Sol (Her vitamins + Iron supplement).
It dawned on me how much Iron stops me up when I’m on it, so between her Iron supplement and her formula bottle a few times a day + Iron, I finally figured out that this girl was constipated.  I cornered Carruthy at church to ask if prune juice was okay for a 2 1/2 month old, and he said to try it.  I have had her on it for two days, and she seems to be doing much better.  Much less grunting, and about four dirty diapers a day.
Thank goodness!
Nobody wants to see their little babe uncomfortable, so I am crossing my fingers that this little girl who has already been through enough in her short little life, is heading into a grunt free phase.
