No BM for 4 days - 20 mo

[lelesmama]

My 20 month old has had a cold for a few days. On Sunday, he had a major diahrea blowout and hasn't gone to the bathroom again since. Any tips on how to help him out? He is drinking juice right now (he only drinks water) in hopes that it can speed things along.

What kind of juice are you using. Apple can constipate I would do pear or diluted prune if your worried about constipation Fresh or canned pears also help. BUT if he "cleaned him self out " sunday He may just not need to poop yet. Esp depending how how and what he has been eating since

I'd actually stop the juice unless he's showing signs of constipation (lots of gas, uncomfortable, etc). We found out the hard way that juice can irritate the gut and cause bigger issues.
