My poor son is constipated...

I tried him on the diluted prune juice today and gave him lots of water. He had some apples and blueberries.
But the way he was behaving and shaking he really was afraid to pass his movements.

He let a little out earlier but I could see he wasn't his normal self. With it being too late to go to the chemist, I continued to offer him warm water and warmed prune juice.
He had so much to drink.

This evening was the worst of it.
He is so sore I had to help him pulling some out because he was in so much pain.

There was a little blood.
So I held a clean wet wipe in the area to try and slow it down.

He was so afraid.

I called my aunt a midwife and she told me I've done so well. With all I've done but tomorrow go to the pharmacy.

I hate to see him like this. I swear id do anything at this point to ease his suffering.

I let him stay up a little later to watch his favourite YouTube channel. And he finally started smiling again.

He had his final bottle and is now fast asleep.

I'm upset because he was with his dad and grandparents this weekend and judging by the streaky colour they haven't been giving him enough water, throughout this weaning process. I will have to let them know of his ordeal in the morning. I need to rest.

He needs to go to emergency to make sure he's not blocked, he needs regular fiber in his diet, like fruits and vegetables, oatmeal for breakfast and beans for dinner, high pulp orange juice is nature's broom.
