Reply from dennis, Child's Age 34 - 12/6/02 - IP#: 209.62.195.133I think that you missed the idea of what I was saying. As I said in my reply, the purpose of the bottle was not to baby her, in any shape or way. We found that the papaya juice worked better when the took it slowly in the bottle. In most ways, my daughter was mature for her age and we certainly had to desire to regress her. We tried giving her the juice in a normal glass, like she used for all other liquids. The combination of the papaya juice which contains enzymes that break down protein, and the enzymes that are generated through the action of sucking on the bottle, produced the desired results - ie, a bowel movement within a few hours. There are medications that could work as well, but we liked to use natural means to keep her unblocked. |
