Eager to Help

On of the first manifestations of food allergies with Noah was constipation.  Once I counted up that he hadn't pooped for eleven days, I called the doctor.  Their recommendation was to give him a bottle of corn syrup mixed with water.

I think the kids were always resentful of my nursing Noah.  They wanted to be able to help, but when ever he cried I would whisk him away and nurse him.  So when those bottles of corn syrup and maple syrup came out they were each SO eager to have a turn.

Noah is so lucky to have such awesome siblings.  In the end it was not constipation but food sensitivities.  So far Noah seems bothered by dairy, eggs, almonds and peanuts.
