Hi all,
Ds2 has cmpa and suspected egg/soya allergy. He’s seen a dietitian who advised the milk ladder but reacts as soon as I try it. Im planning on calling the gp on Monday as he has very runny stools still (no longer mucousy) so suspect he may have some other allergies.
The problem is he just doesn’t really seem interested in solids at all. The only things he will eat are dairy free pouches, mushroom risotto (dairy free) and ricecakes. He won’t touch any fruit. I’ve made him many homemade purées/meals, tried finger foods but all to no avail.
He did have a breakthrough when he was around 9 months when 6 teeth all came through at once and he started happily munching on food. However now he normally just spits it out or mushes it up in his hands and lobs it on the floor. He’s in his high chair at the table with ds1 and I at mealtimes but still refuses.
He's not interested in water and won’t drink out of a beaker. He still wakes every 3 hours a night for his nutramigen milk (will only take 5oz a time). I’ve tried water instead when he wakes but he will wail until he has his milk. I’ve tried spacing out his bottles before mealtimes so he will eat but he still refuses and cries for milk. It’s also getting costly as he is prescribed 5 mini tubs per prescription so I have to buy it myself inbetween as it’s often delayed (£24 for a mini tub which lasts 3 days).
Ds1 has always been a great eater so I don’t know where I’m going wrong. Ds1 teeth came in very early in comparison so not sure if that’s what’s made a difference. Apart from his eating, ds2 has hit all milestones early and is very alert.
Any advice appreciated!
