 My 9 year old daughter has been suffering constipation problems, and I decided to give her an enema. I went to Walgreens and was in the process of buying a Fleets enema, when I remembered when I was this age the enemas my mom gave me. I purchased a fountain syringe. When I arrived home, I explained to her that mommy will relieve her tummy ache. I told her to get undressed and wrap a towel around her and come into the bathroom.When she came in I asked her to get up on the bath countertop and lay her head on the pillow with her hind end facing me. I explained to her that mommy will instill some warm water up her hind end and that would make her poop. I also explained it would not hurt. I prepared a 1 quart warm soap water enema and hung the bag on the towel rack. I lubricated her rectum and nozzle and inserted it into her and released the clamp. I explained to her that she may have some cramping.
It took about 5 minutes to empty the bag into her , and I told her to hold it. I placed her on the toilet to expel.
You could hear the water, gas and poop being expelled. After about 15 minutes she said she felt better. I checked the results in the toilet, and was amazed of the volume. Like my mom used to tell me. Enemas are Good

Kathy what are you feeding her that she is getting so backed up? Sounds like she needs more fiber in her diet.

More fiber might help, but maybe not. I have two girls, both close in age. They eat pretty much the same diet. One almost never needs an enema while the other one needs frequent enemas. Even in the same family and with the same diet kids can have different enema needs.

Kathy sounds like she needs a regular routine of enemas. At least every other week Soap suds and a rinse. She will soon be starting her monthly that would be a good time to start if she hasn't already started.

Kathy, if your little girl has needed only one enema in nine years, you are certainly feeding her right. I would not agree with Sunshine that the child needs an enema every two weeks, but I would agree that giving her some enemas is a good idea to get her used to having enemas for periods, whenever that may be.

One enema in 9 years?! That is not anywhere near a constipation problem. You just have a normal child who had her system get a little out of sorts. I would not give her another enema until either she tells you that she's backed up or you have other evidence.

It does sound like she took that first one like an adult and you should not have a problem in the future. Most moms should be so lucky.

The post made by Joyce about kids being so different is very true. I have a 14 year old and a soon-to-be 16 year old. Both girls have bowels that lock up (as do mine) just before periods start. The 14 year old is a dream to enema. It's like her bottom just sucks in the soapy water. The older one is another story. It takes a lot of coaxing and encouragement to get an enema into her. I give both girls the same quantity (1 and 1/2 quarts). It's been, with the exception of the quantity given, the same situation since they were little girls getting bulb enemas. The older one just has a harder time with them than does her younger sister.

The best part about your initial message was "one quart." Too off moms think bigger is better. My mom always felt smaller, but several enemas, was better. For my kids, like my mom, I usually started with a pint, then the second enema was aa little bigger, but I never went beyond a quart until they were in their teens.
Also, I never gave them their enemas at an early age unless we were home alone. I'd send the other kids to the store with dad, and told him to do anything for at least an hour. I know the others knew what was going on -- especially when one daughter got an enema, but then next week went with dad shopping for any hour.
Regardless of anyone knowing, the privacy of being home alone, made the situation so much better. Oh, and I never had them wrap in a towel ... simply because it was her and me and no one else around. I think each enjoyed the freedom this allowed.

There was so much poop In the toilet that the water looked like Campbell's Chunky Beef Stew but the stink was putrid.
I gave my daughter another enema and still more wet gurgling farts and big chunks of poop came out but this time the stink Intensified as the older archaic poop which was festering In her colon has finally seen the light of day. Finally I gave her a third enema but her poop was coming out hotter gassier and all mushy and she was blowing some incredible wet gurgly farts PppppFFFFFFGrggrrggggRRRgggggFarrrtttt!!!!! and the stink as you all know is simply....PPPPPPPPPpppppppphhhhHHHHHhhhHHEEEWWWW!!!!! Now my daughter Is feeling great once again and she is looking forward to her next enema. I think she will gro up to be an enema addict just like me. Enemas are Goooooodddd!!!

A couple of the ladies posting on this thread have mentioned the idea of giving some enemas to girls before they begin having periods so that when their periods do start coming, the enemas that mom will probably need to give them will not be a new experience. I can tell you from my experience that getting girls used to enemas is a great idea. I did not do that, and really regretted it. My daughter is now 14, and her periods started coming about 2 years ago. The first enema she ever had was an enema she needed because of the first period she ever had, and I had an extremely emotional child to deal with who was asking me if God hated girls because he gave them periods with its constipation and cramps and bloating, etc. I held her in my arms and quietly talked to her for at least an hour before I gave the enema. She was not a happy girl and I was not a happy mom. Things have improved every month since then, but if I had to do it over I would have found reasons to give her some enemas starting at around 9 or 10 so that the fear of the nozzle and the bag would be gone by the time periods started.

I have given both my girls enemas from an early age as both of them seem to have inherited the family constipation problem.
It has never been a problem, except when they were about 4 or 5. I have always given them motherly loving enemas.
When they came close to the time of their period starting,I started to give them enemas,explaining it would ease the cramping. They had very little craming and almost none at all with the enemas.
They would come to me when they wanted me to give them enemas, and there was never any problem about them taking an enema. Many times they would start to experience some minor constipation , and would ask me to give them a little enema, which quickly cured the cramps and they were back to their old selves within an hour. They liked me to give them enemas which I did through high school and college, and still do when they feel a little out of sorts. Even though they can certainly give themselves an enema, they will come over to the house and say, "MOM, would you give me one of your good little enemas". I am pleased to oblige their wishes, and know they still enjoy their enemas.

It will be a cold day in hell before I ever ask my mother to give me another enema.

To M.L.
Why not? Don't you like enemas? Do you only give them to yourself without any help from your mom? How old are you?

I have a loving and close mother/daughter relationship.
When my daughter came to me when she was not feeling good I would know that she was having some constipation problems. I would just talk with her and suggest that perhaps she needed a little enema to help he feel better.
We would go into the bathroom together, and while she undressed, I would prepare the enema and proceed to give give it to her as I always have.
Does that mean that she didn't need one and only wanted me to give her an enema? I don't think so, but whatever the case, whether she actually needed one or not, I will always be there for her because we have that wonderful relationship.

I agree Sue, a skillfully given, gentle enema is one of
the most intimate,tender moments between mother and child.
In fact the very word ene-MA seems to suggest something
deeply maternal.
So much has been said and written over the years, both
for and against the use of enemas during childhood, that
I think a "commonsense attitude" is the best.
Enemas are niether essential nor harmful.
They are simply very USEFUL in certain circumstances eg:
where it is easier and quicker to deal with a problem
from the bottom end, than from the top.
It has helped my kids on several occasions, but I have
never forced them to have one.
love Jenny
