My LO didn't really get it until we gave him meltable a like mums. But he eats great now nat almost two. Just a slow start. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-and-starting-solids#post-1881042 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 09:28:43 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1881042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: She's 6 months. My other daughter was all about the food, so it's so weird to have the opposite right now. But thank you for sharing your experience. I might just have to take it slow - I don't like the idea of force feeding her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-and-starting-solids#post-1881035 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 09:24:44 +0000 MrsKoala 1881035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is the same. He's 8 months on Friday and still will barely eat solids. We're just trying to go slow and offer food at least twice a day. We may cool it on the purees soon and try more BLW soon and see how that goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-and-starting-solids#post-1881016 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 09:14:08 +0000 Anagram 1881016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: How old is she now?</p> <p>My LO didn't have reflux, but MSPI and we did have issues with solids. She literally wouldn't open her mouth at all for solids until 7 months and even after she started opening her mouth, she would just do a lot of tasting but no real eating.</p> <p>Even up till a year old, she just wasn't really in to solids, although I followed the rough "schedule" our pediatrician recommended. Like when she said we should be at 2 meals, I started offering 2 meals a day even though LO wasn't really eating enough to call either session a "meal". When our ped said we should be at 3 meals, I offered 3 times a day. </p> <p>LO was bottle fed with pumped breast milk, so I dropped bottles a little slower than "recommended". Many of my fellow bottle feeding mom friends were down to 2 bottles (actually straw cups) a day by 1 year, and my LO was still at 4 because she wasn't eating. </p> <p>At 13 months, I cut down to 2 bottles (morning and night) and 1 straw cup of milk (that she rarely drinks) during the day and she suddenly turned into an eating machine.</p> <p>Now we have days where she eats all day long and can't seem to get enough. I've seen her eat an entire bratwurst herself, plus 2 vegetable sides, plus some bread. And she's 14 months. Crazy town, considering at 12 months I could hardly get her to eat at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-and-starting-solids#post-1880996 Mon, 29 Sep 2014 09:02:58 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1880996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bump </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/reflux-and-starting-solids#post-1880537 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 14:48:50 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1880537@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did any reflux babies have trouble w/ starting solids?</p> <p>DD2 has bad reflux and we've had to give her dissolvable Prilosec every day since she was about 6 weeks old. She doesn't trust anything we put in her mouth now, because we have to force her to take her medicine daily. </p> <p>We are trying to start solids, but she clamps her mouth closed and won't let anything in. If anything does get in, she gags herself until she throws up. </p> <p>We did BLW w/ DD1, so we'll do some of that w/ DD2, but we wanted to at least start with purees. </p>
