What can you do to treat constipation?Massage your baby's tummy
Start at the belly button and then massage outwards in circles in a clockwise direction. Some oil or cream on your fingers can also help.
Only continue if your baby enjoys the massage and is comfortable and relaxed.Move your baby's legs in a cycling motion
Place your baby so he or she is lying on their back. Hold their legs and turn them gently in a quick cycling motion.
This will make the stomach muscles move and, in turn, put gentle pressure on the intestines to make them move.Give your baby a bath
A warm bath can make your baby relax so the stools are passed more easily. Once your baby has relaxed in the bath, you can also massage their stomach (see above).
When you wash your baby's bottom, apply some cream or petroleum jelly (Vaseline) around the outside of the anus.Don't use a thermometer to stimulate movement
Don't put a thermometer or anything else inside your baby's anus to stimulate bowel movement, because this may cause damage.Check you are making formula correctly
If your baby is on formula milk, you should follow the instructions on the package carefully. Making the mixture too thick by putting in more than the recommended amount of powder can lead to constipation and other medical problems.
There are different brands of formula milk on the market, and they are basically of equal quality. It's best to stick to the same brand, because different formulas may require different dilutions.

We fell so deeply in love
We were so in awe of you
We swore you were an angel from above
We love you more and more each day
You bring us so much joy
To us you are an angel
The most special little girl
We could sit and watch you
Smile and laugh and cry
For hours everyday
We wish we had nothing else to do
We are writing this just for you
so that you will know
How very much we love you
From the top of your head
To the tip of your toe
No words could ever really express
How much that we love you
How my world is fuller now
And how much that we adore you
We will always be next to you
Watching over every step you take
We promise to guide you
Through decisions you must make
You are our precious gift
You are our blessing miracle
You stole our heart and give us love
We love you more for the days to come
There's no other who could take your place
May you be strong and healthy,
May you be intelligent,
May you be obedient,
May you be caring and loving,
May you always be our little angle always.......
