Maybe it's because you're breastfeeding and you've made a change in your diet, or maybe because of something else... no matter what it is, infant constipation is something that every parent is afraid of.

Here are a few tips on how to deal with it at home:

Constipation in infants less than one year old is quite common, yet it still is a source of concern for any parent. Take note that sometimes your baby is not constipated, but he must be given time to set his own schedule for having a bowel movement. Usually, an infant's stool is soft and easily pass...

THE 20 BEST THINGS ABOUT BEING A MOTHER

"One of the things I personally love about motherhood is how, as a writer, it’s enabled me to build a career upon complaining about motherhood. But there are actually just as many cool things about my new life. Such as...

1. The kids

Obviously, unconditional love, yada yada, I’m putting this down first so you don’t report me to Social Services even though #5 is clearly way better.

2. Super-productivity

I’ve become so good at multitasking, I can basically bend time. (I’m writing this sitting on the loo while brushing my teeth with one hand, sending a text with the other and singing Old Macdonald.)

3. Cake

All the time. I don’t know why this is part of it, but it is.

4. W**e

Much of the time. I do know why this is part of it, but any excuse etc.

5. Parent and child parking

So long, suckers.

6. An excuse to be fat for nine months

My tummy always stuck out so I spent my pregnancy in bodycon dresses going, “It’s not my fault I don’t look like Posh Spice! I’m up the duff!”

7. Tiny socks

Makes the fiddly process of hanging them on the line bearable. Also tiny vests, tiny trousers, tiny dresses.

8. Sunny afternoons in the park

Maternity leave isn’t all good, but there are times it’s great not to be in an office.

9. Making them laugh

The first time my baby and I shared a real joke (being honest, I think it was her joke) made having mastitis 72 times totally worth it.

10. Community

Until your baby has been completely kitted out by gifts from everyone you know and some you don’t, like your mum’s friend from the Rotary Club or your work colleague’s mum, you have no idea how kind people are. Strangers help you up stairs with a pram. They talk to you on public transport. They pull stupid faces to cheer your child up when it’s screaming on a plane. I'd always liked to think it, but now I'm sure: people are, at root, good.

11. An excuse to be late

“Sorry! You know what it’s like, had to change nappy on the way out of the door…” AKA I decided to put makeup on for once in my life.

12. An excuse not to travel

“Can you come to us? It’s so tricky travelling with a baby…”

13. An excuse not to do anything you don’t want to do, basically

“It’s a no-questions-asked way out of almost all social events that suck big time in favour of another episode of House of Cards on Netflix,” says my friend Matt, who’s actually a dad but let's be honest has nailed one of the biggest perks of a mum's job.

14. Sleepy cuddles

15. Christmas

Suddenly has a point again. (Plus, friends inform me, you can now host it if you want to.)

16. The ability to sleep anywhere

ANYWHERE. Planes. Office chairs. I used to suffer from insomnia but now if I just pick up this cushion here I’ll immediately asfdvcklm ,

Sorry, fell asleep.

17. The chance of going to a nicer nursing home

My toddler has no idea why I always make her play “investment bankers”, mwahaha.

18. Mother's Day

“It’s like having two birthdays!” says my friend Amy, leaving me wondering whether she has an exceptionally good Mother's Day or an exceptionally rubbish birthday.

19. Other mothers

That moment when you look at someone and you just know what she’s feeling, and she knows you know? And somehow that’s enough? This has probably been the biggest, best change in my life since becoming a mum (alright, alright, except for 1). My local baby group is not an obvious group of friends; we’re all pretty different, but we’ve been in the trenches together these past few years and that is an unbreakable bond. If you mess with any of those women I WILL END YOU.

EVERYDAY MIRACLES IN RAISING MY CHILDREN

"I’ve been struggling in several areas of parenting lately. Times when I don’t know what to say any more. Times when I don’t feel like saying what I’ve already said 88 1/2 times before. The 1/2 time being, I start saying it and then just stopped because I am so tired of hearing myself say it. Can you relate?

The other day as I was sitting with my youngest having a heart to heart, momma to son talk about the use of our words I just felt weary. And I thought to myself how many times am I going to have to continue to say this during this training period? I’ve just said it this week and last and every one before that since he learned how to talk.

As I sat there I was just tired of this repetition. Tired of doing (AGAIN). And I felt God in his sweet gentle way just drop this verse into my heart.

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9

Reasons not to give up:

1.) My kids need me.

Kids need consistent examples in their lives. They need a faithful example of what it means not to give up when things are difficult. If they see me me giving up easily they will be just as likely to cave under pressure. I need to be committed to training them in all areas. Manners, kindness, life skills, getting along with others and in their faith.

2.) God expects my best.

When God blessed me with children he didn’t intend for me to give half my heart. He didn’t give me a job that he thought I would be sort of be good at. He didn’t think I would be great at it some days and horrible on others. No. He gave me a job that he knew I could handle. He gave me a job to stretch my limits of what I thought I could handle. But he knew I could take it on.

3.) Training not only for them but for me.

I’m convinced after parenting for 11 years that I still have every bit as much to learn through this long training process as my children. We all want to learn in life. Whether it’s in the kitchen to cook, in the job field to advance or in our marriage so we can grow more in love. Just as my children are a work in process so am I. Some of my life’s big lessons come from training my children.

These are miracles my friend. In training my child I am helping to train a future generation for Christ’s good work. So I will not grow weary.

What do you do to take a stand against weariness?

Love and blessings,

Melanie"
