“He’s passed one the size of a walnut”
Noah’s plight took a turn down a more uncomfortable route after he was unable to evacuate his bowels for a second night.
When I dropped him at the Mother-in-Law’s it look as if he had more confidence in himself to push past the magic barrier, alas he could not. He managed to pass a small solid that was “the size of a walnut” but nothing substantial enough to ring the victory parade.
A trip to the doctors was on the cards and boy did Mr Doctor Man deliver. Packed off with a packet of suppositories, Katie popped a little capsule into his bottom and within seconds we had lift-off, all three of us breathing a sigh of a relief (especially the little trooper).
He can now be found in his favourite haunt – his crib – cooing at everything that enters the room.


I have two kids. They are so much fun and there are times like yours when its very difficult. Like when my daughter was about 7 months old my wife got home and put the car seat on a chair and unbuckled her and then got distracted for just a second by my older daughter. She fell out of the car seat face first on a hard wood floor. Was one of the worst days of my life watching my young one in pain. She had no major problems so everything was fine but it was exhausting! Great blog.
