Is there a trick?
The morning poo is substantial. Its yukky. Not explosive or dioreah... but big, and really smelly etc. Lately I think its whats been causing DS to wake so damn early... he always has a whopper when I get to him.... I know he hates being in a dirty nap- So would I) How do I 'slow things up'? perhaps a couple of hours. We try to give a reasonable amount of protein for tea (around 5pm- tried to stretch it to 6pm- no go- screams blue murder)... thought thatd help get him through. Any tips?? -------------

One day Lily just stopped pooing in the night, I guess it coincided with me deciding to not change her during the night and her moving to her cot.
She didn't mind the first night and just adjusted. ETA: Instead of pooping at 3am she waits until 7am  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Lol we have this as well!
This is not fool proof by any means, but he seems to save his morning poo till after breakfast if he has a carb rich dinner - usually mashed potato or pasta, no fruit for dessert (I give it to him after brekky and lunch, def no kiwifruit/prunes etc) and no leafy greens or broccolli with dinner (again he has them at diff time of the day. Spinach is guaranteed to make him do a massive poo first thing )
Good luck hun ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

aah very interesting.
last night I avoided meat, and only a wee bit of silverbeet... he is yet to poo. Ill try again tonight. we gave him rice, carrot, parsnip, silverbeet, all tastied up w a bit of curry pow- which he loves. NO peas either which I ussually give him. Maybe the secret. Ill feedback about tomorrow too. -------------
