I've become that woman...the woman that discusses her childrens' bowel movements. Although slightly disgusting, this post is meant as a helpful tip for new mommies.
Today's tip: a little Karo Syrup in your baby's bottle helps to relieve constipation. Start with just a little (maybe 1/2 teaspoon) and adjust as needed.
With two babies on soy formula (soy is gentler on the stomach but has an awful side effect......) we use a lot of syrup. We have found that 1/2 cup of Karo Syrup added to our 3 pint pitcher of formula does the job. Light or dark syrup work fine, but remember the dark will turn the formula an odd shade of brown.
I hope that all of my "mommy posts" can be used by someone like me, who might not know all the tricks and shortcuts to babying. Always remember to consult your pediatrician for your baby's needs.
