Anal retentive

You know that trick that you're told NICU nurses do with babies? The one where you use a rectal thermometer to gently stimulate the pooping reflex if need be?

Oh boy, does it work.

Yep, we've had to go down that route twice now. I hate to see my little one straining all day and uncomfortable. I hope our little ones regularize themselves as they grow without such stimulation!
