Taking a break

From solids per recommendation of our pedi. We just had our 6 month check-up.

Background: We started solids 2 weeks ago, oatmeal & various fruits/veggies. LO had watery, mucousy poops, resulting in diaper rash. He then began refusing all solids. I experimented with BLW with little success.

Pedi thought that taking a break would be best. So we are offering a probiotic twice a day and sticking to BM only.

Anyone with similar situations? Anyone struggling with solids?

    We started N on solids about a week after he turned 5 months.  He ate it just fine and while we didn't have poopy problems it was disrupting his sleep.  He seemed extra fussy at night and he was making noises like he was pushing (although he never seemed constipated or had a problem going).

    We noticed it only happened on the days we have him purees.  We stopped for about 2 weeks and started again right around the 6 month mark.  We now have no problems.

    GL! Hope the break does him good.

    @cocolamo1 Were you doing BLW from the start or purees and then switched to BLW?  We just started that journey last night, and he mostly just played with the food.  Hope your lo feels better soon!

    @MitsB707 Thanks! We started with purées and then tried BLW, as he was starting to refuse. He did play with the food and put some in his mouth. He made the same awful expression when he tasted it. When he had steamed carrots sticks the other night, they basically passed undigested. So I was concerned that they might be rough on his belly.

    I'm just hoping that he doesn't have any true allergies and I don't want eating to become stressful. A friend also recommended having someone else feed him, he might be expecting milk from me.

    Carrots caused my oldest trouble. She had terrible diaper rash when we tried it. I removed that and she was fine again.

    Aw. Hope the break helps LO's digestive issues. fwiw - carrots resulted in 4 days of constipation for my LO so we stopped. She's been much better since. Hope 2nd go around works better!

    I had to stop LO from solids after the first two weeks when she didn't poop for 12 days and had to be given a suppository. We just started back up a week ago and things are going better this time. We have to avoid oatmeal/cereals as that was the likely culprit the first time around.
