[ - ] My almost 9mo db still sweats profusely every time he naps. Every time he takes a bottle too, come to think of it. WTDWT? Anyone else? Basically, it's just his head but he always wakes up soaked. 2 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

massage gently clockwise, focusing especially on the transverse and descending colons (across belly up near ribcage and then down db's left side). prunes are best and can be mixed into cereal. pears are pretty good too. are you sure db is constipated (are stools hard versus just a long time between bms)?
