Subject: Re: Good Enemas Author: Sue [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:52:41 10/23/09 Fri In reply to: Kathy 's message, "Good Enemas" on 15:22:03 10/22/09 Thu 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. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

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. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
