Help!! Her tummy hurts and I don't know what to do

[pennylayne]

Jackie's belly is really hard, she is trying really hard to pass gas but I shes screaming when she does and shes generally such a flow with it kind of kid. What can I give a 2 yr old to help her poop? Its my fault I gave her taffy today she won't even let me massage it I feel horrible and I know its going to be a long night

AWWW my son went thru this alot with foods he would eat at that age, you can give her prune juice or warm apple juice up or warm milk can also help and if all else fails they sell baby enemas at the grocery stores. I hope she feels better soon. constipation and gas are not a good combination. I will keep her in my prayers.

I have this stuff called tummy soothers it works really good. but I would start with what mandy suggested if you don't want to take a trip to the store.

is she complaining of tenderness on her abdomen?
Keep her hydrated, try some prune juice.

I ask her if her belly hurts and she says "ok" which is yes. I wouldn't say shes complianing of tenderness, but it is rock hard. I used to have tummy soothers but I don't think I refilled it when we ran out. Maybe some warm tea?


thanks for all your suggestions.

Prune juice or pear juice works well. I had to give my DS laxative suppositories for constipation when he was an infant but they were prescribed by a doc.

I hope she feels better soon.

Pear/prune juice. Works wonders and is natural.
