6 Days Old

---

Friday 8am, Eve pooped. Friday night no poop. Saturday morning, no poop. I was starting to worry. I was worried that we would have to bring her into the hospital – do I have anxiety?

I knew that you could do exercises to help with farting soo, I just assumed that if you do those then badaboom bandabing poop will follow. So Saturday morning I started with exercises after every feed. Saturday afternoon, still no poop.

Then I went to my very credible research app – TikTok – For medical advice. I seen the typical farting exercising but I stumbled on feet and 5-4-3-2-1 toe massage. So of course I gave it go.

I rubbed her feet, then did little circles, then side to side lines, then rubbed every little toe. And I swear to god, SECONDS after I was done both feet, it was an explosion. I didn’t know a baby could fart so loudly. Then I obviously called Frank and celebrated. Once we changed her what comes again, another poop. Honestly best day ever. I never thought that my celebrations in life now would be centered around bowel movements.

So, now after every burping session I do the little foot and 5-4-3-2-1 toe massage routine to keep things regular
