Is my baby unwell?

15 replies

Agould13 · 02/09/2015 14:51

I have a 8month old son who has 2 teeth. He has a wheat and possible egg allergy and have been advised by doctors not to feed him either. The other day I tried him with bannana and white chocolate and a very small kinder milk+chocolate bar. When he was having this he has diarrhoea so I stopped. Now he is very grissly and still not sleeping well. Today he only had say 2-3oz bottle and not a lot of food which normally he eats a lot.
He also has 2 teeth so unsure if this could be related to teething as he was a little grissly before all this. Would you say I should be worried? Or is this normal? First baby please help!

The lack of fluid intake would concern me if he's only had 2-3oz today. Can you check his temp? Maybe phone 111 for advice?

I have checked and he doesn't have a temp. He did end up eating his dinner and had over 4oz of milk for bed, what do you think?

If he's okay in himself he's probably fine. Is he having water?

Chocolate is rubbish for babies. That amount of sugar, caffeine and other shite in such a tiny system will probably make him feel unwell.

Sorry for sounding harsh.

This is a brilliant website when you think your baby might be poorly and signposts you to what to do.

Sorry to sound harsh, but don't give your baby chocolate. there is just no need for it. At that age you should be introducing proper food, veg, fruit, meat and carbs (pasta, potatoes, rice etc). I don't understand why you are giving your very young baby white chocolate and a kinder bar. It's not good for them.

Sorry ignore the pasta as he is wheat free.

Thanks for all your help! I have arranged an appointment at the doctors today so I will know for definate.
It's ok you haven't offended you don't know the full story that the only things he will eat is very few and far between as other foods make him sick. Anyway some people can be a bit over the top these days, for example farleys rusks are very sugary and bad for babies but people still give them in proportion. So thanks but I am educated enough to know giving chocolate as a first choice to a baby is a wrong but that is not the case.

I will not be on here again as although I can see some people are very helpful. I don't need people cristising as a first time mother it is stressful enough. Thanks again to all those concerned+trying to help :)

you haven't offended you don't know the full story
Maybe you should tell the full story then any advice you've asked for may be more applicable.
I tried him with banana white chocolate and a very small kinder bar
Did you give him quite large quantities of these and altogether ot literally just little tastes of each? If you've given them all together and quite a bit then it's no wonder he was a bit off I think even I'd be a bit off with all that and my stomach is alot bigger than an 8mo.
other foods make him sick
newsflash these foods are also making him sick!
