Infant constipation is a very common problem and if other methods fail an enema may be necessary to help them. Your infant likely has constipation if she has hard stools or difficulty pooping. Talk to your pediatrician before you give your infant an enema using a bulb syringe. Sometimes enemas can cause irritation or fissures of your child's anus, resulting in pain and stool holding. Breast feeding is less likely to cause constipation and digestive issues than formula feeding. A small amount of magnesium in a bottle can help a baby have a bowel movement. You can also try gentle tummy rubs on your infant before trying an enema. To give your child an enema, you will need to have the following supplies: A clean bulb syringe Olive oil A diaper Warm water You will want your hands to be clean before doing this procedure. This process can be messy once your child has a bowel movement, so you will need to wash your hands again afterwards. Make sure you wash your hands for at least 20 seconds using soap. Lather up your hands, including between your fingers, under your nails, and the backs of your hands. Rinse your hands well and dry them with a clean paper towel. To fill the syringe, squeeze the air out of it first, then place the tip of the syringe in a bowl containing the water. Release your thumb slowly and the syringe will fill up. Make sure the water isn't too hot. It should feel lukewarm to slightly warm to touch. You should use no more than three tablespoons of water at a time. This will make it more comfortable for your infant during the enema. Take a teaspoon of olive oil and rub it on your finger. Coat the end of the syringe with a thin layer of oil. Only insert it about a half inch. Avoid squeezing the syringe or you will lose the water inside too early. This process can be unpleasant, so you may want to ask someone to help you distract your infant so he does not pay attention to his discomfort. The water will enter your child's bowel and help to loosen stool. Your infant should have a bowel movement within a couple of minutes of the enema.. Wait a few minutes for your child to have a bowel movement. To make this process less messy, you can put a diaper on her. Repeat this process, if necessary. Clean it with hot soapy water and let it dry overnight. Be sure to rinse it thoroughly to avoid soap buildup. Squeeze the syringe several times in soapy water to clean it. Never use an enema bulb syringe for another purpose besides enemas.

Article: Love is often referred to as being "blind". This adage exists because it connotes acceptance of a person in spite of imperfections. Love is a realization that no one is perfect, and allows you to love someone for his or her flaws and shortcomings. Love motivates you to look for the good in a person and to encourage improvement. When you expect too much and your expectations aren't met, you feel disappointed. Avoid such disappointments by being resilient and flexible with your loved ones. On the other hand, counterfeit love concentrates too much on flaws and failures, turning them into a reason to control, berate or be unkind toward another person. Counterfeit love is often conditional on a person behaving in a certain way. Seeking perfectionism in yourself and your relationships is like chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbowit's never attainable. Healthy love is about setting boundaries to protect your relationships and yourself. Healthy love begins with self-love (not self-absorption) and radiates from loving yourself. Healthy love also learns to forgive and move forward, in the realization that harboring resentment is like holding a hot coal of angeryou are the only one who gets burned. Forgiveness is a big part of loving others, as is making it clear to people where your limits lay. It's not wrong or unloving to stand up to disrespect; it's a healthy sign of self-respect and setting boundaries for others to learn from. On the other hand, counterfeit love does keep score, with a person frequently returning to occasions when he or she felt you hurt or upset his or her feelings. This scorekeeping can reach back years in the relationships of some people, with bitterness and resentment the only thing keeping people close. Such unhealthy love never learns forgiveness and results in "lovers" with little to no self-esteem. Love never fails, even you feel like it has. Breakups (whether it's a romantic, workplace, business, friendship, etc.) can really hurt. Yet, love is worth the effort, even in those times when loss hurts you. For, as Alfred Lord Tennyson put it, Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. Love is therefore also about experience. You cannot shut yourself off from the rest of the world, no matter how afraid you are of loss. By opening yourself up to the amazing possibilities of love, you open yourself up to all the beauty and wonder of the world too. Sometimes it won't work but on the law of averages, you'll experience more love than loss, especially if you don't tie down your notion of love to simple romantic love but embrace love as a way of being and thinking in all walks of your life.
