[quote=Anonymous]Yes I'm sorry to say both that I think constipation has been a factor (as mentioned in original post)and also that their pediatrician has been very unhelpful throughout this entire process (for those pps who suggested consulting the ped). MB has taken her daughter to the ped three times in the last year, first to just discuss beginning potty training (when the ped told her to use a timer but have it go off every 90-120 mins! That was right when she turned two and hadn't yet begun potty training so that set off a red flag for me because that time frame was too long). Then a second time when after six months potty training wasn't making progress (ped said she's fine physically and just to keep trying). Then the third time was about four months ago, when I discussed with MB that DD was exhibiting classic constipation symptoms and had been for months (having frequent tiny poops and then one large painful poop once every 7-10 days, etc). Others I spoke to said the doc should consider a laxative,  or at least an x Ray to figure out if she was impacted etc, since we had already been giving her prunes and ground flax seeds daily and she had been eating lots of whole grains and fruits also to no avail. But the ped just said laxatives and xrays weren't necessary and she was fine :/ I told MB I'd consider getting a second opinion but MB said this ped came highly recommended from friends with older kids and she trusted her.

11:56 I really like the watch and blue water suggestion, thank you for that. I'll bring up those ideas to MB.[/quote]
