We took our 5 mo old off baby food for the second time since she still gets a sore stomach. She cries and spits up. I decided to wait til she’s 6 months before trying again. Since she seems to have a sensative stomach and she always had some gas problems, which food should i try when I start her again? We tried sweet potatoes and carrots so far, both upset her. Right now she is still eating rice cereal. which food is the easiest to digest?

If you make your own baby food, I would like to know what kind of food processor you have found that works best to puree food. Please don’t tell me to get the Magic Bullet. It’s too small. I’m making large amounts of food (like 6 large sweet potatoes, 2 pounds of peas, etc).

How To Treat Babies Diarrhea

If you see these signs in your baby, you must treat her by giving as much fluid as you can. You can give either breast milk or formula (if your baby is not more than 6 months old). Water and soup are other alternatives for older babies.

There are also special fluids designed to replace water and salts lost during your baby’s diarrhea. According to American Academy of Pediatrics, these fluids are very useful in home management of mild to fairly severe illnesses.

However, you should not prepare these fluids by yourself because you may make bad liquids for you baby, which of course can worsen her condition. You can easily get the fluids in nearby pharmacies.

When should you take your baby to a doctor?

You should take her see a doctor if these conditions below occur:

- You find blood in your baby’s feces. This can be a sign of bacterial infection.

- There are changes in your baby’s behavior, like she cries most of the time and you can’t calm her down or she refuses to eat and drink.

- Your baby has a high fever, which is above 39C.

Nonetheless, no need to be worried if:

- your baby acts normally as usual.

- your baby has no fever.

- your baby still wants to eat.

Generally, diarrhea recovers by itself without medicine. You just need to be patient and not to worry too much. Always observe your baby’s condition and examine whether her feces get solid or not and whether there’s blood in them.

The key is to keep give her as much fluid as you can. If she refuses, try to give the drink in small amount but do it frequently.

My baby girl is almost 10 months old and for the past month she won’t eat her jarred baby food. I try to make her eat just a little bit, but she won’t sit still long enough for me to feed her and acts uninterested in it even though I KNOW she is hungry. I try to give her different kinds, so I know that she’s not bored with the flavours. So all she eats now is those rice rusk things and her formula. I afraid that she’s not get all the nutrients she needs. She ate her jarred food just fine and loved it since she was about 4 months old. How can I get her interested in her food again?

I am trying to keep allergenic foods away from my 7 month old daughter, as I’ve read there are many foods she shouldn’t have until her first birthday. Why then do baby food companies put strawberries, egg whites, citrus, and milk products in baby foods if babies aren’t supposed to eat them?

When did you start feeding your baby 1st age baby food and what foods did they like or react negatively to?

July 10, 2009 by Elizabeth  
Filed under Q.A.

What age did you start your baby on the 1st age baby food? My son is almost (in a few days) 5 months old (I know its a little early but he eats so much formula, I thought I might try and see how he takes it, and maybe supplement a bottle or two with the baby food) and I’ve started giving it to him, and he was doing really well until I gave him carrots. I think that may have constipated him. So when did you start feeding your baby the 1st age baby foods, and what foods did they like or dislike, or had negative reactions to?
