    Anything yet??? Oh and just to clarify, when I asked if she was possibly holding it in.. I meant if she's constipated and it's hurting her bottom cos it's really hard or something, maybe she is holding it back (or tensing) cos it's hurting her. Anyway, hopefully she's sorted now.

    Not yet, she had a really unsettled night last night and wanted the potty, but only did a wee, then this morning when i dropped her off at Daycare she wanted the toilet, did nothing, then wanted the other toilet so we tried that too and nothing, poor little sweet

    I have her pear juice and water, along with quite a bit of pear last night, along with a heap of corn. I have prune juice and the psyllium husk, I could only get it in a 500gram pack, but Woolies had it in the Healthfood section, I mixed some pear juice into her porridge this morning and some psyllium husk, but she only ate a small amount of it. I spoke to her carers as well, and asked them to hold off on the banana, I didn't realise about the cheese, I can't remember what wa on the menu today either. but we will avoid it at home as much as we can until things get moving.

    If we don't get anything substantial today I will add in the prune juice and I can also try the brown sugar

    Sorry Ozziehoffy, I did misinterpret your post, you are right she may be holding it in because it is hurting, if it doesn't move soon we might need to look at a supository or something to soften what is there - if that is possible....?

    Thankyou all for your suggestions , it is so much better to be able come here and use natural remedies before looking at a medical solution

    Hopefully we get some movement today

    Thinking of you and your little girl. Hope she's feeling better soon. Maybe a warm bath would help too or a tummy rub. It might sound funny, but if she is in lot of pain, maybe it would hurt less if she 'goes' in the bath? Might be a bit icky, but maybe it would help your little bubba.

    sweety, everything will ease soon...

    We had movement

    At daycare late this afternoon, apparently it was HUGE well it had been quite a few days since she'd done something, and longer for something other than pellets

    Thankyou so much for all of your suggestions DD1 is soo much happier for your help , we will make sure we keep up with the good fibre so we don't go down this path again soon

    YAY!!!! Awesome news lol @ HUGE. I find that it's water Oskar needs more of when he starts doing pellets. Hard to keep up with little kiddies and their intake and know if it's the right amount of whatever it is they need to keep on top of these things.

    Don't worry about the misinterpretation lol.....easy to do, probably didn't say what I meant clear enough hehe. All good
