Have you ever stopped solids??

shellpep3

Have you ever stopped solids for a day? My LO is not as regular anymore with her BM's and she's doesn't seem to interested in eating solids the past couple of days. So have any of you mommies just skipped a day of feeding your LO solids?

Yep. I am doing it now.

Yes. My LO started solids at 6 months. Some days he was interested, and other days he was not.

meltoine

Yes. In the beginning a few times when he didn't have a BM for a couple of days, and even sometimes now we skip a meal. Like tonight - we were out later than we expected and skipped DS's dinner.

i have skipped a lot, as i understand it, solids right now are simply to learn how to eat and to experience different tastes, so when time doesn't permit and we miss her solid meal i don't worry as she has breast milk feedings without any changes even with intro of solids.

I haven't, but I would if DS seemed constipated, sick, or just uninterested. Leaving out solids now isn't really a big deal since it's more for taste and texture than nutrition.

I skip them if we are out later than usual, if she is acting super cranky and tired, or if she is sick.  If she doesn't have a BM for a few days, I feed her prunes or oatmeal cereal to get things moving.  This works super well!

We had to this week.  DD had diarrhea for over a week, so the ped. told us to skip solids for a bit.

I stopped solids for a month...

Nope. We just added a few drops of Karo Syrup to each bottle until LO had a decent pooh. Once he did, he was usually fine. But sometimes he will strain and if it's a while for him to go, then we will add some more drops into bottles again. It works!

Constipation  is a common problem w/ young babies starting solids. Several common foods we start our lo's on contribute. Rice, bannana, and apples are big culprits!  When dd has problems I cut those out and give her oatmeal instead and peaches. Peaches allways work for her. With in 10 hours typically. I have also heard prunes or apple juice will work.

Oh all the time!!  With 3 little ones, ours days can be chaotic, and it just doesn't always work out.  DD does great and would be fine with having it as much as I can fit it in, but she's also fine without.  Today she had THE most massive poop I have EVER seen in any of my three kids, and it has to be because she's had prunes over the last few days.  So I'm totally backing off till I can recover from the grossness, ha!  I'm talking outfit ruined, poop oozing all down her legs, in her fingers and toes, all over the changing table, etc.  I'm traumatized.

We stopped for a week to give him a break. But let's face it, he's not really eating any solids to begin with. (refuses to)

Yes after we gave him cauliflower he had a major gas attack, curling up crying like a mad man and his tummy was hard as a rock. Needless to say cauliflower won't be making another appearance for a long time.

Oh man!  That is a bad one!

Thanks for all your input! I didn't give DD solids today and she still didn't have a good BM so I think I will not give her any tomorrow either and see what happens.

During the week, he gets 2 meals of solids every day. On the weekend, we get 1 maybe 2 meals in. I too agree with solids right now are just for learning so I'm not worried about it.
