Alicia, I often hear from mothers who are worried that their baby is constipated. I ask them what the symptoms are, and they will say that 1) baby hasn't gone on his/her past pattern, and 2) they seem fussier and uncomfortable. I'm not sure if I believe the moms or not on the behavioral observations. I have often suspected that perhaps they sometimes project their expectations into the situation, seeing more than really is there. But, I can't say that for sure because I don't live with their babies! Lisa Marasco, BA, IBCLC
