<p>Hi Mamas,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DD is 10 months old. LOVES her food. She eats mostly what we eat because she likes to feed herself. Food from the jar is a very, very distance second to what she wants to eat on any given day. She loves eggs for breakfast, we nurse at lunch, she has a snack of sorts in the afternoon, and dinner is maybe organic mac and cheese with fish, or maple glazed tofu, or ravioli with prune sauce.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I know every baby is different but DD has ONE bm once a week! Her doctor didn't seem to concerned about this, but yesterday she grabbed the chair in the kitchen and turned bright red pushing while screaming her head off. SCREAMING. Her bm was very hard. Is this because she isn't going enough? Am I feeding her the wrong things? I tried diluted prune juice last night, and every night she gets a couple of spoon full of prunes because she has a pill she has to take at dinner time and I mash it in with some prunes, but it hasn't affected her at all. <span><img alt="confused.gif" src="http://files.mothering.com/images/smilies/confused.gif"></span></p>
<p><br>
I feel horrible. I must be doing this all wrong for her to be in such pain, and to be so backed up. I'm certain I have no idea what I'm doing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thoughts appreciated.</p>
