Am I the only one feeding solids to my baby ?

ximenita003 · March 2014

We've given him oatmeal, peas and avocado. He devoured it as much as he could, with a royal mess of course. Ok the peas not so much but he absolutely loves oatmeal! This has gone on for five days and he seemed fine until today. Poor bud bud was screaming for a good part of the day. I think he got better once he released some classy gas but was still a cranky monkey.So I'm not sure I should keep feeding him solids. Am I jacking up his little inexperienced digestive system? My ped said I could start trying cereals, then at 5 months start introducing veggies and at 6 months fruit. But of course I always think I know better.

No. There have been like 10 threads on this topic.

Wait. Your pedi said not to introduce solids yet but you did?

Edited for a word

He said I could start introducing cereals. I'll see what he says tomorrow. I'm thinking it might be iron in the oatmeal, as he hasn't had a bm in two days . Otherwise it's the benadryl I took last night that is making him cranky .

Yah I looked it up and most people are waiting. I tried to open a link @wedding posted but no luck. I'll do more research.

We were given the go head for solids at 4 month appt. She took to it right away so we have done cereal and will start intro'ing green vegetables in about a week or two. This is the same track we did with our 5 y/o as well.

LO started solids 2 weeks ago as per his doctor. He has fruit mixed with oatmeal mid morning and cereal mixed with veggies at night. He was still hungry after his bottles and screaming so he had us start, no constipation issues, LO poops like 3-4 times a day!

People do know that doctors don't know everything...right? It is really good to do some research yourself before you do anything pertaining to your child.

Zilly13 · March 2014

You went from zero to 60. Introducing three new things within 5 days is WAY too much for a baby.

And yes, he's probably constipated. Slow down, back off the veggies. Stop giving him oatmeal for a few days and then re-intro a little bit per day.

Is there a reason you are jumping into solids so quickly?

This. You're supposed to stick with one food for a week to make sure their system can tolerate it. While yes, doctors may not know everything or have varying opinions, who am I to blatantly disregard their advice? At least that's how I feel as a FTM.

Anyway...can we be done with the solids/rice cereal/eating posts soon please? K thanks.

I'm in no rush. I guess it's cute to see them eating? We'll be at 6 months soon enough and will start then. I have enough going on without adding a new fun and exciting early milestone into the mix.

Why are you giving your kid so much new stuff at once if you agree with this? You clearly haven't listened to your pedi OR done your own research.

ximenita003 · March 2014

Yeah I think I need to slow down but I think I'm OCD about it... I just have to try different foods. Today I gave him very little butternut squash. I'm going to lay off cereal. And everything else until he poops. He just doesn't seem satisfied with breast milk anymore

Oh my goodness, this is so crazy to me! I usually stay out if stuff like this, but WHY did you try another new food? Your poor baby's digestive system is probably going into overload right now.

We have not started solids yet. DS2 turned 4 months on the 18th.

With DS1, we started with oatmeal. He was eating it fine for one week, and then started projectile vomiting it everywhere after each feeding.

You know what I did? I stopped giving it to him. His digestive system was clearly not developed enough.

I reintroduced the oatmeal at 6 months, and he was fine. Follow your baby's lead. Please stop putting every known food in his mouth.

/rant.

ximenita003 · March 2014

Ok thanks for the advice... All taken with a huge grain of salt, as usuall. My babe is fine, just hasn't pooped yet. I'll let you know if anything happens since obviously you guys care about my sweet bebe.

Check ya laters!!!!

This is one of the most bizarre threads I've seen in awhile.

I think for some odd reason you wanted to AW the fact that your LO is eating solids. I suspect this because I know you are on the board enough to see the many threads about this over the last few weeks.

Considering the fact that you went from 0 to 100, this topic obviously interests you so you would have read those posts and know you aren't the only one doing solids.

You said your LO is having tummy troubles from the items you've introduced so far, but decided to go ahead and throw something else in the mix.

This defies logic on so many levels. Like a PP mentioned, you don't have a prayer of identifying the culprit should he have a really bad reaction.

You've already used your get out of jail free card as far as I'm concerned. I didn't care about your AE or the fact that you bashed us to O13, but I'm done with you now.

You're hitting the crazy really hard, OP.

You are a fucking idiot!

The end!

@kellykinns Back atcha.

cagoldi · March 2014

Yep, I knew you were strangely compelled to ask a question for which you already knew the answer.

Exhibit A - you posted in this thread about starting solids last week.

WTF. That is really my only reaction to this thread.

fitmama418 · March 2014

Hey guys!!!! Last night at the rehearsal dinner I gave Sophia scallops....and shrimp and pasta and green beans and broccoli and bruschetta and washed it down with some cider. Am I doing it right????

mwhipple77 · March 2014

I have a Facebook 'friend' who posted pics of the cupcakes a friend made for her DD 6 month bday. WTF! I want to comment about what an absolute moron she is, but she has actually had people comment that they can't wait to see pics of how her DD enjoys them! What???

You're kind of a weirdo. I don't understand your thought process with your posts and more importantly your IRL decisions.
You seem to have one hell of a track record for making poor decisions in regards to the safety of your LO and yourself.

Maybe work on that.....

I read @snarkyNbitter‌ as "Sharky Biter" at first and thought that was a cool SN. Haha
