Some home-grown remedies do help, here are some of my faves:<br />1) Dark Karo syrup - 1 tsp once or 2x a day, pure or mixed with milk is ok, a big plus, kids love the sweet taste<br />2) Prune juice - yes, truly works for 2 months and up<br />3) Chamomile tea - mix like regular tea, let it cool off and give about an ounce, helps with the tummy pain<br />4) Vaseline - you put a generous amount right in the opening to ease the process of defecation<br />5) Manzanilla - yes, I still use this, just make pahid sa tummy to help with the pain as well.<br /><br />Of course, habit is very important, you have to stop the vicious cycle by making your child think that it doesn't always have to hurt when they poop, so you have to keep the poop soft always and not stop the meds or remedies once she starts going. Sitting on the potty after every meal helps too. Good luck dear!Vel Cristehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296838254480885046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7711571229775556924.post-24123544124612677162013-02-25T13:31:32.823+08:002013-02-25T13:31:32.823+08:00Cris, I know!
