baby rice at 7 weeks???
in Baby
hi ladies,
just wanted to ask a quick question, a friend of mine had her son the week after i had my daughter, because he wont sleep thru the night at 7 weeks which i think is to be expected still, she is giving him baby rice.
now she complains that he sleeps thru the night but is constipated for 2-3 days after.
i think that 7 weeks is too early for him to digest properly and suggested the hungrier baby milk instead which has helped my daughter enormously.
she wouldnt have any of it and said that she was gonna take him to the dr cos there must be something wrong with him.
am i being naive about all this? the packets all say that you should wait until at least 4 months?? i`m worried about the baby`s health.

she has 2 other children and her husband has 3 others, and they both just looked at me like i was insane when i said that at 7 weeks i`d be suprised if he was sleeping thru, and pretty much told me i didnt know what iwas talking about cos i only had 2 children. rahh bloody people.
the baby is lovely and all they do is moan about him cos he cries. what do theyexpect?
sorry about the rant but some people make me so mad when it comes to babies.

Please don't be offended but I think its quite selfish of them to start their baby on baby rice "just to get some sleep". Everybody knows that babies, although they're absolutely adorable, mean dirty nappies and sleepless nights. Someone with so many kids should surely realise this!!
I think she needs re-educating on babies! Sorry but she sounds like she doesn't know what she's doing! I'm only giving my honest opinion.
