To wonder if I gave my dd too many prunes for a snack at school today..

OK so my dd loves mini prunes (strange i know) anyway I packed her school lunch last night and popped in 10 mini prunes as a snack, will this have a mount vesuvius effect? poor little thing i hope not!

Well it's the teachers who'll find out.

If she's used to eating them, probably she will be fine. If she had never had prunes/high fibre before then maybe ten prunes would have a dire effect !

Oh god i've not given them to her for a couple of months, maybe she won't eat them all, and decide to eat her granola bar instead

Give her something 'binding' for dinner - cancel out the river of poo that will no doubt follow

Feel a bit sick after typing that...

Oh god, we have a no more than two prunes rule in our house, or else we end up overwhelmed by noxious gases. Good luck!

Gave my almost 6 month old daughter prunes today. She LOVED them. tomorrow should be interesting

Do you think something like brocoli pasta and cheese sauce? or maybe pizza?

I was thinking something more like cornflour.

joke....

Have given them to my 7m DS for last 2 days - still nothing!
I think as a teacher I may have appreciated a warning.....

Good point candr

I think Pizza for diner it is!

I run a toddler group and one day had 2 punnets of blueberries as snack except it was really quiet that day. Dd ate about half a punnet at snack time, other children consumed the other half.Then she got into the rest while I was washing up and ate them all so she had in total about a punnet and a half. She spent the next 2 days pooing her pants constantly. Great fun.

Good luck!

Dd ate a huge bowl of black olives one night, no one noticed her coming and going from the buffet helping herself and she had eaten the whole lot. I had an interesting time the next morning

Oh blimey

DS snaffled half a kilo of grapes this evening. I am waiting for that 3am wail now. I stupidly changed his bedding today as well.

Our school if they so much as poop more than once a day they send them home in case they have the contagious squits and they can't return for three days! So you have to be pretty careful not to overdose them on fruit of any kind.

Ok I'm off to find out what happened lol!

No explosions in class were reported!

My DD was happily scoffing tinned redkidney beans in a salad. We thought no more until her nursery carer told us the 'aftereffects'

She ate a punnet of strawberries- no ill effects, just pink poohs
And the watermelon did give her a dodgy tumm though.

We used to have tinned prunes and custard at school dinners during the 1960's!

So did we girlywhirly (during the late 70s) but only the maths teacher was brave enough to eat them. After a helping of liver and bacon.

Sooooooooooo glad I didn't have double maths that day.

My toddler DS loves prunes as a snack. I normally give him up to three. The other week, however, he was asking so nicely for one more that I gave him a fourth... BIG mistake! I won't forget those nappies in a hurry.
