Guest guest Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Hi all. I lurk a lot but not as much as I'd like. I don't have much time w/ my 8 1/2 month old (Luke, DS). I wanted to ask about a couple of things. Luke has issues with constipation or infrequent bowel movements. We're going to start with some mineral oil in his food today to see if that can help. He also spits up A LOT so we may start him on some medicine to help with that if the mineral oil doesn't do the trick. Did anyone else have this issue w/ their infants? He's been seen by the Dr a couple of times. They did an xray yesterday to make sure his intestines are ok. Everything was fine. Also, have you noticed that your babies with DS have a high pain tolerance? I keep waiting for him to show signs of being in pain and he just never does. I'm hearing from a couple of friends that it may be a common trait in babies w/ DS. The poor guy went two weeks without a bowel movement and seemed as happy as can be. I'm of course not complaining about having a happy baby. He's a joy... but I just think it's good to be aware of so that I don't wait so long for him to show signs of pain/discomfort. Thanks in advance, Amy -mom to Luke 8.5 months DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
