screams during feeding - but wants the food..advice/help?
in Baby
HI
Not sure where to turn although think i may have to go to the doctors with my son (nearly 6 months) but wondered if anyone had any advice first. He has been on solids (homemade purees of carrot, papaya, sweet pot, banana etc) for about 2-3 weeks. He is a big boy and health visitor has no probs wth me weaning him. SOme days he loves his food and i think this is going well but about 60% of the time he is screaming at his feeds. It's not when he sees the spoon, or even when he tastes the food but seems later into the process. I can't say that he has ever refused anything and even when screaming/crying I offer him more and he takes it greedily. So now I am wondering if he has some sort of reflux/stomach problem. His gran is coeliac, oh is borderline and other nan has acid reflux (i am fine!). He really does scream the house down and looks distraught. Any ideas moms?

- Could be gas. Try burping him.
- He could be tired and cranky, try feeding when he's not.
- And most like it is that he's simply starving!
Pls try the above, one of them might work....
Good luck!
