Poo Poo Ricco

Ricco finally poop this morning after 6 long days of wait. Everyday I tell myself and Ricco to poop the next day and after 6days of disappointment, he finally pooped this morning! I see remains of papaya, cereal and his poop smells of papaya! Zac and myself declare that we are going to celebrate!

How it happens : Poop Part 1 :

Zac as usual wake up early as 6am to take care of Ricco. After feeding him water, he was massaging his tummy and lifting his legs at the same time. Nnnng...Nnnng all the way... Before long, Ricco is also following his Daddy in making Nnnng Nnnng noises. Ms Gemok (our blur maid) was mopping the floor and caught sight of Ricco making Nnnng Nnnng noises with a highly concentrated look... she immediately calls out "Ricco poo poo huh". Zac almost immediately stopped her from disturbing him and continues with the Nnnng Nnnng noise... and out comes ALOT of poop...!! Zac was smiling from ear to ear as he clears his poop (so you see! poop clearing can be an enjoyable task!) and me on hearing that Ricco poop jumps out from bed in excitment! This is not the end of the story....

Poop Part 2 :

On the way to MIL house, me and Ricco were hyming along to "Thomas the Train". Than I realised that he goes Nnnng Nnnngg... and than I hear plop plop plop coming out from his backside followed by a super pungent smell...YES, he pooped again! 6 days of poop all done in 1 morning

Lesson learnt on Ricco's Diet :

1) No more ceereal

2) Loads of plain water, barley water

3) Change to Nan2 HA Formula

4) Lots of pureed fruits and vege (provided this naughty boy takes it)

5) Granulated sugar mixed with water (this could be the solution! not sure though...)

Looking on the Bright Side :

My MIL in her desperation to make Ricco poop had went ahead to buy a traditional, no-nonsense potty (nothing like the ducky, 3-1 or other fanciful potties we see at fanciful kids place). She is hoping that sitting on the potty will make Ricco poop. This Ricco did not achieve. However, he pee whenever he is on the potty! So, in a way, we are toilet training him at this tender age! Ricco follows us when we make Nnnng Nnnng sounds. Thus, Ms Gemok is tasked with the task of sitting him on the potty each morning after milk and goes Nnnng Nnnng with him. We hope to establish a routined poo time for him. Also, to bring him to the potty 3times a day for pee-ing.
