Ok apparently A eating solids is affecting his sleep. I held off for 2 days and he slept better. Gave him a tiny amount of avocado in the AM yesterday and he was up every hour again and only nursing back to sleep. How do I make this better? I can’t just not do solids, right? I guess I’ll run it by the pediatrician at his 6 month appointment tomorrow. Honestly there is no hard rules on this. Waiting 6 months is the recommendation anyways. Are his poops different? More gassy? Some kids don’t even really get interested in solids till later. I have stopped with M, she wasn’t interested so I’ve taken a break. Breastmilk or formula is all they truly need.

Yeah, he’ll be 6 months tomorrow and we started last week. So probably 5 days of giving him solids? His poops don’t seem different, but he’s not pooping as much. He’s usually a 3/4 times a day type of dude. I’m taking a break too, sleep is more important for us both!

jt2378, I also took one arm out of the swaddle last night and I’m sure that has something to do with it too. Can’t I just swaddle him until he leaves for college please? 😩

@easilyunamused, I think @starzia had posted something about their digestive systems not being mature enough early on. M also poops quite a bit so I wonder if their little systems just aren’t ready.
Sorry about the swaddle, he will get there soon and it will all be a distant memory!

Baby h woke up with 103.5 fever at 3am this morning. I gave Tylenol then and this morning it was down to 101.3. I haven't taken it recently bc he's sleeping in my arms. I'm so worried it's flu but I don't want to expose him to the drs office if it's not. I left them a message so I'll see what they say

I hope the pedi can give u some advice

I hope you can figure something out. I didn't want to take j in last week but the not knowing was killing me. Hopefully it goes down on its own and isn't the flu

J is a mess today . He's been whiney and not wanting to eat. It's worrying me a bit. His purple bumps are mostly gone but now there are red bumps all over his neck and legs and his torso is bright red. I just gave him some Tylenol and put him down. We have another dermatologist appointment Thursday so I'm having them look at these new rashes too.

thinkchocolate05, I hope H is ok, poor baby. Sucks😞 I hope it’s not the flu! king26, sorry about J. Any chance it’s something with the purees? Do they look like hives? Just wondered if it’s an allergic reaction or something.

Just wondered if it’s an allergic reaction or something. I don't think so only because I've been keeping a food journal and the doctor didn't think so when we were there. I just feel bad because his skin is dey, he's red, and he's not feelin well. I'm hoping the not feeling well is related to teething because he is chewing on everything and drooling like crazy .

Oh no, all the sick babies.
I am getting over a cold again and now both kids have it. Winter needs to be over! I also have what I think is an allergic reaction rash on my underboobs which is just fabulous when I’m nursing every two hours. It’s super itchy but I don’t want to put anything on it that will also get on DD.

king26 Just a random thought- has he been wearing fleece at all? My DS has eczema and if he wears fleece and gets even a little too warm he flares up and gets heat rash.

yellowcat Baby h has, especially if he's in his jumperoo after he eats. Guess right up his back. His fever broke yesterday and he seemed pretty normal by evening. I was surprised the Dr said not to bring him in unless I saw 105 fever, he was overly lethargic, or he stopped eating. It was a rough weekend with ds1 down with a tummy bug. I took ds1 to urgent care last night over dh's protests (he thought I was overreacting and I was so mad) bc I was worried about appendicitis. The Dr just thought it was a stomach bug though.
