Turns out the rice cereal was a bad idea for Mila. I gave it to her once on Saturday and once on Sunday. The daycare notified me that she spent all day Monday constipated. It wasn't until that moment that I realized she didn't poop at all on Sunday. Finally, Tuesday afternoon it flopped over to diarrhea. Diaper rash ensued.
I was planning to try giving her oatmeal cereal since that is good for keeping the digestive tract moving, but now I'm afraid to give it to her. I think I'll take tonight off. Assuming she's had a good day at daycare today, that will give her a day of normalcy. I'm still not sure what to give her tomorrow. Oatmeal cereal or a veggie. Hm.
I feel really bad because two of my friends watched the kids Saturday night and Ariel watched them last night. Mila was cranky both times. I'm REALLY hoping it's due to her bowel discomfort and not because she's That Baby. You know. The one that hates all strangers and will only be happy with her own parents. She loves her teachers, but she's with them as much as she's with us. I want her to love people and be independent! Dang it. Although, the doctor did say she should start developing stranger anxiety at this age. So maybe it is that.
I'm going to have to start forcing people to hold her so she can experience others, I guess. I just feel bad forcing my kid on others. Ugh.

My suggestion would be to go with a veggie. Aiden had a lot of issues with constipation, and Mila may too. I think I only gave my kids cereal a few times. Logan hated it, even though I tried to get him to eat it over and over. So I just gave up and went with the fruits and vegetables. Landry got really constipated as well, so I just stopped giving it to her.
