Something happens around three months of age that your doctor doesn’t tell you about (or she does, but you forget!) and the books only mention if you look specifically for it (because you’re freaking out!). Babies poop less. I remember at Kayden’s 2 month check up the doctor told me that her poops should go from daily to every few days. Ha Ha I said, my little princess poops every diaper change! A month went by and she continued to BM every diaper change so that little ‘warning’ the doc so briefly mentioned just flew in one ear and out the next. Well one day Kayden made good on what the doctor had said might happen. One day went by. The second day went by. The third and so forth. On the fourth day she gave me what I so eagerly looked for as I peeked in her diaper after a toot. A poopy! Then a day went by. And another. And so forth for another 4 days. This can’t be! She must be plugged! Or so I thought. So after talking to 2 nurses and the doctor on the phone, I marched down there with a ‘constipated’ baby. A quick visit later I found out that my baby is in fact not plugged up, but just doing what they had told me would happen. The doctor aggressively massaged her belly and by the end of the day we had 5 blow outs! Kayden is back on track!!

Tummy Time

Kayden hates tummy time, as I have mentioned before. I still make her do it daily because it helps her strengthen her neck and more importantly because my husband asks me every day if we did it. Sometimes I just lay her on her belly for a few seconds so that I’m technically not lying! 🙂 Today I managed to catch her on camera looking like she might be enjoying it.

And here is what she really thinks about tummy time!
