Look, constipation is temporary. It feels like forever when you’re wiping away tears (yours and the baby’s), but I promise this will pass—literally and figuratively. Your baby’s digestive system is just learning the ropes, like a new employee who can’t find the break room.
You are doing an amazing job. You’re researching, asking questions, and trying to help your little one. You’re a hero with a diaper bag. And one day, you’ll look back and laugh at the time you considered putting pancake syrup in your baby’s bottle.
So take a deep breath. Give some bicycle legs. Call your pediatrician if you’re worried. And remember: poop happens. It always does. And when it does, you’ll cheer louder than you ever have for anything in your life. You’ve got this. Now go cuddle that little grumpy landlord—they’ll be back to pooping like a champ before you know it.
