Debby, you are right. The enema declined. Some say that’s due to a few reasons. Big Pharma pushing pills. If the mother gives an enema with the bulb, it can be used over and over. She only had to pay for the initial cost. Pills, laxatives and such are expensive. Seen the cost of over the counter junk lately?

Growing up an enema (mostly given on a table with the bulb) was given for helping with colds, flu, fever reduction..the constipated child.
Once a month the enema was given — regardless.

When the child was fussy, moody, fighting, crying for no reason..he was told he was going to get an enema.

Being 7 years older than my cousin I remember my cousin getting an enema when like that!
My aunt got the bulb out and gave him an enema on the table.

Always amazed me seeing his behavior change after he got an enema.

You are right about other countries Debby.
On a trip to Central America a few years ago to visit a friend, I remember her giving her two boys an enema.

It was no big deal. I saw the enema displayed in drug stores.

I received enemas for that as well. After a good unless fight going over her lap and being cleaned out, i was wore out, tired, exhausted and empty, always nap time after an enema.
