Anyone have trouble with baby when introducing solids? (I've had a really BAD week and a half!!!)

Anyone have trouble with baby when introducing solids? (I've had a really BAD week and a half!!!)

Kevin got two shots last Monday and at that appointment his doctor told us to start him on a bit of rice cereal once a day. Well OMG! I thought it was a reaction to the shot becasue ever since Monday he has been a different baby.

He's been crying constantly...pretty much if he's not eating or sleeping he's crying or fussing. This past weekend I thought I was going to lose my mind.

That's the only thing that's been different in his life and its weird because we've been putting rice cereal in his bottle to thicken it and he wasn't like this but ever since we've been giving it to him on a spoon he's had a lot more gas and more poopy diapers. We are only giving him about 4 little spoonfuls once a day.

I've got to figure out what's going on because I'm getting really depressed and its making me to feel like I never want another baby.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Sarah gave us a hard time eating the food off the spoon at first. And now that she's on other cereals I rarely give her rice since it tends to bind her up and give her bad gas.

I tried a corn and sweet potato mix the other day that gave her wicked gas - she was up all night.

I hope he moves past this phase soon. Chat Icon

As Cathy said the rice can definitely be binding. How lond did your dr want you to try that before switching to barley or oatmeal? Have you tried making his little legs do bicycles it can help.

Chat Icon 's to you! I hope his little system adjusts to it quickly.

We didn't have this problem with cerals or vegetables but we started fruits and the bananas - she loved it but holy binding!
