I have a dck that is fairly new. Been with me a few months.
almost 2 years old, sweet as can be. BUT the child refuses to eat any form of fiber of any kind and it's causing issues with their bowel movements.
parents said dck won't eat any fruit or veg at home either. I blend in a lot of my veggies and all of my other kids eat it. not this one. parents said only eats chips, cherrios and crackers at home. I don't serve any of those.
So far the only thing she will eat here is bread, which makes matters worse not better.
I have noticed that about every other day when the child tries to have a bowel movement, they crunch down, scream, cry, and sometimes go to in to fetal position, shaking with pain trying to poop. It is the saddest thing I have ever seen. Often it this has gone on for about 30-45min trying to go. Yesterday I had to call for pick up, it was over an hour.
I told the family they needed to talk to their doctor, to which they said they have and the doctor said to keep offering, don't fight it.
Is there anything that I can do here? Any ideas you ladies may have?
