's message, "Keep using a bulb?" on 16:02:12 06/30/09 Tue
Lauren, thank you so much for your post. The only thing that you said that does not work for me with his enemas is the quantity. You suggested 1 bulb but I have found from much experience with him that his system requires 3 bulbs, retained for a few minutes, for a good result. But he does take the 3 bulb enemas pretty well. Lauren, I have looked back in the archives of this board and found posts that tell mothers to get their child on bag enemas as soon as they can, but I haven't seen any reasons in those posts to do it. What do you think is the reason that some people say to get kids on bag enemas at an early age?

Barb:
The one that that I found is that most kids do not tolerate the multiple insertions and that is usually the issue with a lot of moms preferring to use an enema bag rather than a bulb. If your son is OK with those, then there is no compelling reason for you to change. For most of us getting the child to accept an enema with minimum fuss is the biggest challenge. Making the enema as comfortable as possible goes a long way to achieving that and is one reason that I say you don't need too much, it shouldn't be too warm or too cool, and you should take your time. The other thing that I've seen mentioned from time to time is that in order to understand what the child is going through a mom should not be a stranger to an enema either.
