Constipation vs Hemorroids

Hello darlings, I hope you are all well. I am better now. You will appreciate why I was not at the end of this post. I came home from work and Izzy was having her afternoon siesta. I looked over into her crib, she was sleeping so peacefully. I waltzed into my room, threw my bag on the bed my body right along with it. When my daughter woke up I had to change her, I love that little girl but boy oh boy did that poo smell. Lol. Anyhuuu I was gonna do what I had to do so I set to it. I broke out the diaper, changing mat, wipes, the barrier cream and the toy for distraction. Nappy change takes longer since my baby learnt she can move by herself. I picked her up and lay her on the mat and loosened the flap thingy mijigs. Wiped her and she let out a cry so loud my heart sank. I did an examination and saw what looked like a small tag, just hanging there. I was FREAKING out big time. I continued to change her and when I finished it was oooooon! I was all over google and on the phone to granma. My heart was in pain but Izzy was now happily running around, playing and calling out mimiiiiii..(mommy). So anyway I decided I was taking her to the Doctors tomorrow, and I was going to watch that thing like a hawk. However by late afternoon I was on my phone asking my friend to take to the Doctors. Thank you Olly, I owe you one! True to my mothers words the Doctors first question was is this your fist? I looked him dead in the eye and said yes to let him know I wasnt embarrassed I came. He said no wonder. It's nothing serious it will go. I'm sure he could read my I don't believe that demeanor and he prescribed a gel for me to apply on it. It was en external hemorrhoid. We got home and she had her bath, dinner, a song, and story. When she slept I was back on google trying to understand what hemorrhoids were. My baby had STRAINED her Rectal muscles doing a number two. Take it easy this does soon link into my blog. I realized after doing the reading that it is something to do with her diet. Possibly not enough fiber and more foods that can cause constipation such as yoghurt, bananas, carrots. So I've decided to go out tomorrow and get foods high in fiber to correct this problem by making a few changes to her diet. Hemorrhoids are painful, that is my I am sharing my experience because a problem shared is a problem solved. Want to incorporate food in her diet that will soften her stool, so she doesn't strain and hurt herself. Sometimes you will see blood in the toilet for children who can use the loo. It's nothing major but you can correct it by changing your the little ones diet. Sometimes we think we are doing thing right when something happens as if to say woman your best is not good enough!! Foods to include to avoid constipation are sweet potatoes, apples, homemade vegetable soup, prune juice, bran cereal, pumpkin, beans, green leafy vegetables, soy milk because it is less constipating than cow milk. Make sure they drink plenty of fluids as well. This is why we as mothers should pay CLOSE attention to our little ones. They are not anaPhiris kids, they are our sons and daughters. Doctor was right because when I was dressing her after her bath, it was gooooooone! But now I'm prepared, I'm hemorrhoids smart, Boooooooom! * blowsongun* I wish you peace, love and good eats!
