Spitting up solids?

wrenr · June 2010

I can't remember if DD1 did this. At her 4 month appt the doc said I could start giving DD2 cereal. I gave her rice cereal as was recommended by the pedi but she seemed to spit up a lot more than usual. I tried a few times but then thought maybe it was upsetting her stomach so I stopped. Several days later I gave her oatmeal, but she seemed to spit that up a lot too. It occured to me that maybe all the vitamins they add to baby cereal are maybe too harsh for her. So I stopped giving her any for a few weeks. Last week I gave her homemade applesauce and she seemed fine with that, just a bit gassy but it didn't seem to bother her. This week I tried homemade yams but now she seems to be spitting that up as well. I don't know whether she's just not ready for solid food or whether all babies do this and I shouldn't worry about it. I'm going to call and ask her pedi, but was wondering if anyone else's kids spit up solids. TIA.

I don't remember either of my kids spitting up food. I started each of them on solids at 6 months. But neither of them was a big spitter.

It sounds to me like maybe she's not ready. This is what hapenned to my friend's son. She just waited a few weeks and then tried again.

I waited until 6 months and didn't have any issues...I tend to think they do better when they are a little older and the gag reflux is gone.

So I wouldn't worry, I would just try again in a few weeks and see how she does

ditto the above poster. She doesn't sound ready.

Nate didn't really eat solids until he was 11months!!!!

Abby threw EVERYTHING up, but she had bad reflux... we also found that she was throwing up more when she sucked the food down quickly. I had to start slowing down the spoonfulls and making them smaller.
