I'm dying

[TigerLily]

Really when she wakes up she sounds angry. It actually starts out as just an angry shout and then progresses into a sad cry.
Starting yesterday she is also on a nap strike. Cognitive growth spurt maybe? Can't turn her brain off at night?

I'm sorry this is happening TL. I wish things were better.
I have no advice, unfortunately.

How is she pooping?

[TigerLily]

She poops about as often as she sleeps. Usually once every 5-6 days. Bad pooper bad sleeper. It's a good thing she is so darn cute.

Also the only solids she will eat is whatever falls on the floor after dinner. And she refuses a cup and bottle. She will chew on a paci.

Poor kiddo.

This sounds a lot like my dd was when she was a baby. She is/was a terrible eater, got constipated easily and it wasn't until we put her on miralax that she actually pooped and ate well. When she was constipated, she woke up very often!

[alison]

In other words, she seems backed up to me!

My boy gets miralax daily. He's 5. I can tell when he's backed up because he gets cranky and difficult. I think Alison is onto something.

[alison]

Miralax has been great for my dd. I'd actually try -- it's non habit forming, and with it dd poops daily. They don't drink nor eat well if they're constipated.

Wow thanks! I'm kind of horrified but in a good way.

Should I have N's cinnamon reaction looked at further? I was just planning on avoiding it until she was older, but it is something that is pretty widespread.

[TigerLily]

Our 3 year old actually takes Miralax every day too, and you're right it changed our life. And this is a totally different subject but v-girl, YES A3 becomes a monster! It's insane! I thought I was the only one!
I can put some miralax in a cup for her, but she doesn't really drink from one well. I wonder if I could mix some with some water in a medicine dropper thing and do it that way...
