Baby Constipation UPDATE

I think the prune juice worked!
It took a couple days to 'kick in' - but when the time was right, the BOMB dropped. About a weeks worth of backed-up poop all in one diaper! Now, he poops nearly every day, and we feed him the prune juice about every other day. He actually takes it in really well...we thought he'd reject it at first, after having been used to milk his entire life. But he sucked it all up...ahhhh!

Well, speaking of poop, after every diaper change, we always put the soiled diaper in our DIAPER CHAMP. It is actually our SECOND one. The first one we got as a gift (we actually got two of them). We returned one to Target, and kept the other. I guess we picked the wrong one because it was pretty defective. When you turn the turnstyle, it always got stuck, and you needed two hands to turn. We thought that it was difficult, but normal - until we visited our friends home where she easily, and smoothly turned hers with two fingers, and a baby on one arm.

I was willing to complain to Baby Trend, but we would have had to go thru the process of mailing the product in, then waiting weeks to possibly receive a new one. Not worth it, so we just bought another one at Babies 'R Us. Now we are happily using it, while the defective one sits in our laundry room. I can't bear to throw it away even though it is of no use to us - so I somehow take comfort in letting it sit in storage and collect dust. Strange, I admit it.

Anyway, we stuck with the Diaper Champ because alternatives need a proprietary trash bag system where you'd spend more money to replace. Didn't make sense - in the end the DC was cheaper and still worked well. So I do recommend, just hopefully you won't end up with a broken one.
