Sleep and Poop

Posted by Peter on November 12, 2000 at 10:47:04:

My six month old daughter is still having trouble sleeping for any length thru the night.She is on a diet of mostly soy based formula and this makes her poops quite hard and hard to pass.I was wondering if there could be a connection here.Is it causing her cramps maybe?She has slept thru the night a couple of times only and when she poops she really has to strain and turns beet red.Frankly this is pretty scary for me.Is there any way that this can be eased ?Last night she went to bed at 12,was up at 2:30 for a bottle and then up for good at 4!,fussy all the time and farting too.It's not like she's sleeping a lot thru the day either,maybe 3 hours.Help!!!!
