The Power of Prunes

6 months old. Oh my word. Seriously, time is a cruel mistress. I mean, I just found out last week I was pregnant and now my little girl's sitting up on her own, attempting to sing (or squawk), and eating people food. No words really. Watching her grow is like watching a rocket launch. Slow at lift off but once it gains momentum, its off.

Now that my daughter is at that age when "real" food can be explored, I have discovered a harsh reality. It does not always come out the other end like you thought it would. 3, 4 days went by without a single BM. I would turn to my husband and say "where's it all going" or "I don't want to be on the receiving end when that digestive shipment comes in". But I found hope, a lovely laxative for my sweet little lady in one word: PRUNES!  I thought I would shy away from prunes. It reminded me too much of my grandma's house, always sitting out on the kitchen table in a bowl. You know, old people food. But after hearing Mommy after Mommy praising the power of prunes, I had to give it a whorl and wow, does it work.

Now any time I am concerned about my daughter's digestion, I reach for a jar of organic prunes and know I am going to get results. Try it!
