No BM in the AM or PM

No bowel movements from an exclusively breast fed baby? After 5 days, check baby´s temperature using a rectal thermometer. The stimulation of the rectum by the thermometer is often enough to start things flowing again. Stand back.

Delayed Reactions

If your toddler is accustomed to disposable diapers, the uncomfortable, cold and wet feelings that signal an emptied bladder are absent. Let nature help in the privacy of your backyard in summer months. Let the child play naked (Don´t forget sunscreen) and "discover" his new talents.

Rectal Temp

Using a rectal thermometer? Advance the lubricated tip slowly and as gently as possible. Any resistance could be stool or it could be the side of the bowel. One inch is far enough to gauge the temperature in an infant.

"emergency" diaper bag

Pack an extra diaper bag with one of everything; diaper, wipes, an outfit, pacifier, etc. You never know when you´ll use it!!! Leave it in the trunk of your car.

Prevent baby back pain

When changing diapers of any age child, raise both legs at the same time. If you lift just one, and hope the body will follow, you not only risk straining baby´s back, but could also dislocate his hip.

Bottom Burn

Diaper burn? If you are feeding baby orange or apple juice and a scorched red bottom starts about 12 hours later, start diluting the juice even more than you already are. The acids in the fruits are probably the culprits.

Rectal Temp

Using a rectal thermometer? Hold it gently but tightly. There is a natural reaction in babys and small children to clench the rectum tight and draw the thermometer in.

Rectal Temp

Using a rectal thermometer? Undo diaper but leave in place under the baby. Catch the feces/poop and discard the one diaper and save yourself cleaning up a big dirty mess.

No BM´s

No bowel movements from an exclusively breast fed baby? Don´t panic. Don´t worry, especially if your baby´s disposition has not changed. After a week, try a baby glycerin suppository.
