Besides several trips to the 7/11 and small pharmacy, we happened to be heading back to Cathwel and the head nurse in the nursery gave us a couple of tiny enemas to use. May be worth a shot since you are meeting with your social worker for AIT. Of course...do this well before you go on the plane..hahaMike & Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09353626018125618178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23776056.post-9789103749548433652008-08-06T04:04:00.000-04:002008-08-06T04:04:00.000-04:00good advice about packing extra clothes for Claire...good advice about packing extra clothes for Claire.. two sets actually, because the sleeper was chafing Jer's chest and he blew out in another outfit.. fun huh?

As for YOUR food,<BR/>check out the deserts in the department store, there is a bakery that is pretty good under the main MRT building downtown, and there is a wonderful to die for Dumpling place going towards the Taipei 101. Just ask your hotel desk for the "most famous steamed dumpling place in Taiwan" and have them write a little taxi card out and then you're off! If you go to the Tain Mu district there is a chili's and a Friday's from what I have heard! OH and there is a good place under the Ceasar Park hotel.. go to the MRT stair well to the right, that takes you under the city.. I think the restaurant we ate at was right there across from the bakery I just told you about! You'll love it. Order the chicken whatever it is! Have fun!! Be more adventurous. We were to afraid to our first time there and now I fully regret it.. I hope to bring a new and improved adventurous Sarah k. along this time to get JO.Sarah khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745829589179607659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23776056.post-73852402253802334812008-08-06T01:51:00.000-04:002008-08-06T01:51:00.000-04:00I agree with the apple juice and with one of my bo...I agree with the apple juice and with one of my boys a nice warm bath when I knew he was trying sometimes did the trick--the q-tip thing really does work, just pray you don't let the flood gates open!<BR/>I think it is so great that a few months ago you were having a hard time with the wait and now here you are talking about baby poop!

Be happy it's not the opposite, lol, 'cause that happens too to some kids under stress. We had to actually get medicine in Taiwan when Kira hadn't had a bm in 5 days . . . she wouldn't drink juice, etc. or anything else that might have helped. <BR/><BR/>Glad your AIT appt. is a go :)). YOu will be getting settled at home very soon. Hope everything goes smoothly at AIT. I'm sure it will.<BR/><BR/>Still can't get over how ridiculously adorable your baby girl is!Erin Lyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321995448061964512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23776056.post-83306841678195983072008-08-05T18:57:00.000-04:002008-08-05T18:57:00.000-04:00Okay I can't tell you here, okay maybe a I can. Q...Okay I can't tell you here, okay maybe a I can. Q-tip and some ky/vaseline... not pretty but last resort. Also if you can do mixed grain cereal instead of rice, a bit better as well as mix the prunes or applejuice into the cereal. Anything with "p" and you're good. Pineapple juice, plums, prunes, pear juice oh and watermelon (lots of watermelon). I doubt that you'll find Miralax over there (baby laxative). You can do mashed black beans... yum fiber! Mushed up shredded wheat (anything that you could possible manage in the store that has whole wheat to soften with juice, not milk). Oj, oatmeal and squash. <BR/><BR/>AVoid soy, tofu, milk, cheese, yogurt (although if it converts to runs, bring back yogurt... awh delicate balance), apples, bananas<BR/><BR/>Okay I'll stop now, but at least you have something to start with. Also feed this and then allow a nice warm bath to splash in, relaxes the bowels and baby (more relaxation, less fear to push). Once you get past the initial pellets, the rest (sadly and fastly) come flying out. <BR/><BR/>P.S. CUTEST PICS EVER!!!

Any veggie that is cooked and can be mushed real well might help. You're right, she'll open up once you're in the air...that's the way it works.<BR/><BR/>JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
