Poop Softener –

I wanted to share this I thought maybe it would be something useful and helpful for other parents. You see my daughter is 2 years old and she has difficulties going Poop, so of course as parents we never like to see our children suffer, cry for reasons that are out of their control. So of course after reaching out to a doctor they of course prescribed some medication. The thing is that the medication was causing her to lose her appetite, and she was not eating, of course the bathroom thing was not completely 100% cured, and we noticed that her teeth were beginning to stain yellow. So sorry doc but we stopped.

Now, of course we just didn’t give up and we started using some natural things, such as Guayaba, “Guava”. What we did is made sure the Guava was ripe and we went ahead and blended it t make a smoothie, that was absolutely working, plus it is healthy. She was finally regular and no crying. The thing is she got tired of the taste and did not want to drink any more…that was about three weeks into the smoothie. Of course we had to find something else, we had other parents suggest Fiber powder, etc but she always detected the flavor and would not eat or drink what ever we tried putting it in.

Now, of course we researched and looked and finally found another solution, it was these small little juices, which are called “Yakult” they could be found at any super market and they are just the right size for children under 5 and guess what…she loves the drinks and they help her be regular, make her poop soft…which in turn no more crying.
The thing is like anything parents should do research and ask around, we tried Apple Juice and it worked for my son when he was little, because he had the same problem, but not as severe…so apple juice worked for him but it did not work for my daughter. We tried all kinds of things for my daughter and well I have to say that I am really glad that we found these little juices, “Yakult” because no more tears while trying to go poop is a great thing.

My Perspective:
Always check first when trying something and of course I am no doctor and I don’t imply that the things I tried might work for your child, but they are other options I am offering and they might just help one child out there, but please always refer to your doctor and of course read all the labels when administrating anything whether it be medication or natural. By the way, this drink is actually also good for adults...just so you know...and it tastes good.
