On the 6th day...

...God breathed life into living things... He made Adam and from his rib Eve was created. It was a wonderful day.

Not that this has any sort of parallel to what i'm about to say, but this particular 6th day was also a wonderful one for the Ng household. T finally pooped, after 6 agonising days.

I don't know how his little stomach probably the size of a tennis ball can hold 6 days worth of solids and milk.

Note to new parents: Banana is constipating for children. So is iron fortified rice cereal. A combination of both will result in a "poop-plug" hard enough to cut diamonds.

Poop-plug busters are peaches, prunes and pears (remember 3Ps). So when u start ur baby on solids, remember to try these foods early in case of potential constipation.

My boy and girl have never had any problem with bowel movement even when we first introduced solid. They were both on iron fortified FM, iron fortified ceral and banana for 1 single day, but still pooed (soft) as usual. I think WATER does the wonder. Try offering your bb more water. My boy loves water, and since birth till now (27 months), he poos EVERYDAY, except 1 or 2 days when he didn't poo, and he poos almost after every meal. Give water a try!
