He's got #1 down pat, but after two weeks, he still hasn't had any success with #2. He seems to get a bit apprehensive about the whole thing, which has led to some "blockage issues." On the one hand, it's nice when he goes a day without crapping, because that means you get to go a day without putting on your hazmat suit and cleaning everything up. But on the other hand, each crap-free day means that the bomb is just getting bigger and bigger. Today, for instance, he took his first crap in 72 hours -- right in his pants. It resembled the Rock of Gibraltar... <BR/><BR/>I look forward to a time when my day won't revolve around the bowels of a three-year-old boy.ShotgunDaddyhttp://www.shotgundaddy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10727618.post-1123700254817394412005-08-10T11:57:00.000-07:002005-08-10T11:57:00.000-07:00Oh yeah.

Ready?<BR/><BR/>OK. Imagine your daughter's belly button being the center of a clock that is a little smaller than the size of your palm. If she's stopped up and needing to poop, you can just gently trace your fingers around the clock area, clockwise. No pressure needed at all. It's called a "nerve stroke." Just lightly go round and round for a little while intermittently through the day until you get results.<BR/><BR/>If diarrhea is the problem, do the same thing except counter-clockwise.<BR/><BR/>Works on big people, too! Although their issues are often more complex than that of a baby.<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps! It has helped me quite a lot with my kiddos.DollyMamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07620082290318348792noreply@blogger.com
