My son has had constipation issues for some time. My helpful MIL has always maintained that this is my fault for starting him on solids too early (5 months) and for giving him too much food!!?!! The GP and paediatrician maintain that this is not the case and that many children have issues with constipation. Both the GP and paediatrician have also suggested that sometimes, this can be a hereditary issue.
On an aside FIL is always eating prunes and swigging sirup of figs... coincidence?
Anyway, this morning, PIL on skype, DH mentions that DD (6 months and just starting solids) may be constipated, cue MIL making usual comments. I left the room but listened in and overheard MIL telling DH that he should tell me to take her off the food before I do the same to 2nd DC.
DH, as per usual, said nothing.
WWYD?
I went bonkers and have been rowing with DH for most of the day. Not sure this was the right approach!
