Not exactly table talk, but let's face it. Some kids are poopy, others aren't. My kid falls into the not-so-poopy category and sometimes has trouble staying regular. So how do I help my little one more easily relieve herself? That's a "load"ed question. I tried prunes in a few different forms, one of which you can see here. Alas, after greatly anticipating a diaper detonation I was left high and dry in the most anticlimactic way. Only in infancy and our geriatric years do we ever get this excited about a good B.M. I tried to cut out the bananas and down on the cheese as these are known to cause constipation, but nothing was greasing her gears. While watching TV a few days ago, Jamie Lee Curtis came to me like an angel with unusually amazing breasts for a woman her age, speaking of eating yogurt to keep you feeling regular. That's it! I bought Piper Dannon All Natural Plain Yogurt and within one day she was giving me the good stuff. I also incorporated whole wheat toast with real butter and big juicy blackberries alongside the yogurt for a well-balanced and delicious breakfast. We have solved the regularity issue, well, in her diaper...
Here is a video of Pip enjoying her new doo-dooriffic breakfast!

Prune Immune!!
The results are in, and my experimental baby colonic treatment (featured here) of pureed whole prunes and rolled oats was not a success. Although Piper was not constipated to begin with, I figured there would be a little more diaper action than there was, which was pretty much nothing out of the ordinary. I'm unsure if this is because prunes don't work their magic unless a person is log-jammed or because Piper is just not affected. I would be interested to hear if this method works for your infant, constipated or not. I'll be awaiting your comments!

Foodie Baby: BABY COLONIC EXPERIMENT!
I know it doesn't seem like food and poop should really be used in the same sentence, and I don't really know why I got the sudden urge this morning to clean my baby's gastrointestinal tract. Maybe it's because she's just not one of those super poopy infants that blesses me with a ginormous pantload every day that had me feeling like I needed to get the gears working. At any rate, the method I used is below. Don't forget to click on THIS LINK to see a hilarious Saturday Night Live skit regarding blowing out your colon! I will get back to you all on the results...tick, tock, tick, tock....
~Ingredients~
3 whole pitted prunes
1/8 cup of rolled oats
1/4 cup of water
~Instructions~
1. Heat the rolled oats and water in a small bowl for 30 seconds on 60% power in your microwave.
2. Spoon the oatmeal into a food processor.
3. Plop the 3 prunes in the food processor as well.
4. Puree until a rich and creamy texture.
5. Make sure your baby eats all of it.
6. Wait for impending diaper explosion....or not...like I said, I'll get back to you.
