My First Blog Entry / Baby Constipation

I am now officially a blogger. Wow, I wasn't sure that I would ever take this up but I guess it is kinda cool. I am devoting my site to my kids, Parker and Sophia, and all of the little things that I am learning along the way.
My first tip/trick: Sophia (5 wks) has had a little constipation issue the last few weeks. Anyone who knows babies knows that this can be a major issue as it causes lots of crying fits and sleeplessness (for mom and dad too!). In all my efforts to help her out I came across an article online: http://www.drhull.com/EncyMaster/C/constipation_infant.html Within this article it states to use 2 tsp. of Karo® corn syrup into their bottle (any size). Wow what a life saver. It worked within hours! However I warn you if you do try this and the baby hasn't been able to pass anything in a couple of days, be ready for a blow out!
