Early Weaning Help
Hi, the doc thinks my LO has Reflux (17 weeks) so has suggested early weaning as solids is meant to help cure it. She suggested trying baby rice etc before each feed. The prob is that she is screaming through all her milk feeds due to the Reflux and although she was Ok yesterday, she seems to be screaming and not interested in trying solids now either. Should i try her with solids inbetween milk feeds ? Baby rice seems very bland so I have some sweet potato puree to try as well.
How long did it take your LO's to start actually swallowing some solid food and anyone have any tips??!!!
Thanks

I think the solids between milk feeds sounds like something worth trying, in my experience - Amber will only take her rusks/rice when she's in a settled mood and wont take it on an empty stomach.
She's 17 weeks as well and has only just worked out how to eat off a spoon - it just takes perseverance - keep trying.
Hope you find a solution - it's awful seeing them so upset with reflux

She will get there, Dylan hated baby rice, sweet potato went down a treat though!
Good luck xxxx
He loves baby rice mixed with plenty of EBM and I give it halfway through a feed so he isn't ravenous and too impatient to wait for the spoon
We also try and make it fun and he just loves putting his hands and spoon in his mouth at the same time as the baby rice! Very messy but lots of fun - have a camera at the ready!

tyler is on comfort milk, gaviscon and ranitidine. we stopped the ranitidine for two days and it was horrendous. big sick, crying at the sight of a bottle basically very unhappy. he's back on it now and its made such a difference. i'm slowly introducing him to food, he has a few spoonfuls of baby yoghurt in the morning with juice will start with the baby rice tonight at 4 ish and see what happens.
