BLW - is it normal for the food to come out the other end looking exactly the same as it went in?

[peachpearplum]

...or does it mean my ds is not ready yet? He is 28 weeks and the food in question is broccoli and carrots

[FaintlyMacabre]

Yes, this happens for some time. Just don't get too alarmed the first time he has banana...

[peachpearplum]

argh just had a banana poo...bears no resemblance to banana but god the smell!!!

possibly tmi. sorry.

Peas don't come out the way they went in. Peas get squished, even though I know they are not chewed before they are swallowed in DS2's case

BLW wasn't known about when I was weaning the dses. Now I see what I missed out on!

[claireyBANG]

Oh god yes I remember the awful awful runny milk poos with bits of carrot in. I was so excited the first time dd did a solid one!

[AnathemaDevice]

Yep-I got myself in a panic last night, thinking there was blood in DS's poo- then DH pointed out that it was actually a bit of tomato.

My 9 month old dd evacuated an orange last week completely unchanged. She only had the inside bit, not the pith and the fibres so I was amazed to see so much orange in her nappy!
