Okay, here we go again. I stopped with the sweet potatoes like everyone advised and things seemed okay for a day. But now DS cries and cries and won't eat anything/spits it ALL up a couple minutes later. AND his first little tooth is showing at the fum line now.
Here's a little more background...Isaac ate great when we first started solids at about 5 1/2 months. avacado, banana, rice and oatmeal. He was eating great! Monday after Easter we gave him avacado again and he got really sick (throwing up all afternoon) but we thought he had caught a virus since DH and I had been sick. He finally seemed to be better so we got back on solids and I gave him avacado again and it happened all over again now with a fever. So we go to the doctor and he confirms a virus and says it's not the avacado. A few days pass, DS is all better and I give him the avacado again and duh, it happens all over again minus the fever. So the virus he had was masking the fact that he can't handle avacado.
Then the whole sweet potato thing happened. (spit up) So I went on to butternut squash which he seemed to be okay with. However the last two days it's been hell trying to feed him. He cries and cries and this morning he just spit up the banana and oatmeal after eating - which has been his favorite.
Is it the teeting? I'm thinking of stopping solids for about a week and then starting all over again with just cereals and so on.
Please help, I'm not sure what to do. TIA
Re: f/u: HELP with solid foods -long
yes, DH is extremely allergic to tree nuts. We are staying in close contact with our pedi about this issue. We are praying that this isn't a sign that DS will have the similar problems.
thanks for the responses ladies! We are going to take a break from the solids.
Awww... I'm sorry to hear about his upset tummy and all your struggles with solids. It was never easy for us: Emily went from loving something one day to throwing it up the next to flat out refusing to eat AT ALL the next... what a crazy rollercoaster to move her from breastmilk/fomula to solid food. *sigh* And when she was teething, it really through a wrench in things, I honestly felt at times like I was just never going to "get it" and she was going to be on bottles until she was a year old!
You've got some great advise so far, I'd just try (as hard as it might be!) to relax, take a small break from the food and just go with it. Poor thing and poor you!!!
Good luck!
