[tri-med] Re: constipation - got barley?

Nope, not tube fed.  Neuro dr said that giving her water may decrease her 
sodium levels, esp since she is so small.   I know she will drink it, she 
loves unflav pedialyte too.... that may be my best bet.  She's had water 
before... even flavored with a small splash of juice.

One mom suggested adding barley cereal instead of rice cereal to her 
formula, but I couldn't find any in the grocery store (looked by the other 
baby cereals)... guessing I will have to look in natural foods section
Babies... gotta love em!!   :o)
