Ok well I went to wic today and had to
take dom too. My doc told me to change
his formula from similac to isomil becuz
he has been so constipated ever since he
started similac. Well I also told her
how I have occasionally put karo syrup in
some water because it helps babys poop and
also his pediatrician recommended it too.
She gave me a flyer about not to give
infants kyro syrup or honey since they r
not pasturiezed and can cause botulism
disease which is a condition in which it
causes the baby to stop breathing and
die!!!!! how n the hell
could his pediatrician tell me to give him
that? I even have a atricle on it too.
They recommend that u mix 1 tablespoon of
juice and 1 ounce of water or 1 ounce of
juice and 1 ounce of water to help them
poop. U can use any of these 3
juices... Apple, cranberry or prune.
Just thought i'd let u mommy's out there
know if u didnt already. ~ erica.

Thanks for the warning! I've always heard
local honey is great for people because it
can help fight off allergies, but I guess
not for babies!

Ive never heard of that syrup though. Ill
remember that juice thing, but also if
they have a tummy ache you can give
them... Its hard to say mancenilla -
man-zen-nia. Its like a tea sort of and
you boil it in water, take out the seeds,
and put it in a bottle. All the mexicans
I know do it. It soothes their tummy.
But thanks for the info on the
constipation.

Omg, this is terrible. This is just why I
don't trust most docs. Now if something
god forbid happened to dom, they would
most likely say it was sids. Now I wonder
how many sids ccases are really this.
