We started ds2 on solids this week. The past few days he has had pears. Today he has a diaper rash. Should I assume they are connected? Possibly from the acid in the pears? I gave him apples today for the first time then he pooped and I noticed the rash. Would you stop solids until it clears up or just try something less acidic?

That is what I was thinking. We got a bunch of fruits from a co-worker whose daughter isn't on purees any more so I was trying to use them before they expire.

I usually start them on something like sweet potatos or carrots 1st, then move on to fruits after they have had a few non "sweet" foods.

Skip the pears until the rash clears up, then try them again.

Pears make you poop, so the rash might be from more/looser poop also.

It takes a bit for their digestive systems to acclimate to anything other than BM/formula.

Two out of three of mine didn't have issues, but my formerly refluxy baby had some problems when we first started solids - constipated, diaper rash, etc.

Thanks everyone. I did start him on avocado first but he hated it. I think I will give him a break from fruit for a while and hope it clears up.

DS1 never had any food issues so thus wad new to me.
