In this episode of 832 Weekends, Tony shares a recent stressful experience—his baby went four days without pooping, leading to some serious discomfort, screaming, and a worried trip to the doctor. Like many first-time parents, he and his wife weren’t sure if they should panic or wait it out. After getting reassurance from the doctor, they learned that baby constipation is totally normal and usually not a cause for concern unless it lasts too long or includes symptoms like blood or vomiting.
Tony discusses what helped resolve the issue, including extra fluids like water and juice, time, and a small dose of Miralax prescribed by the doctor. He also shares the emotional side of watching a baby struggle and feeling helpless—and how sometimes, patience is the best remedy.
