DD is 5 months. Up until now she has been entirely breastfed. Last week I decided to start solids. I know the advice is not to wean until 6 months BUT I did have my reasons: DD is big for her age, she was hungry all the time, she was waking more at nights and I was exhausted, she was obsessed with me eating, she will not take a bottle or beaker and I was desperate for a way of feeding her that would enable me to leave her with her dad for a few hours. I might sound like a bad mum but I thought these reasons were good. HOWEVER maybe I was wrong.
At first DD loved what I gave her - pureed parsnip and sweet potato mixed with a little baby rice. I was just giving her one meal a day and she was grabbing the spoon and shoving it in. But then after 8 days of just dinner I gave her pureed fruit for breakfast yesterday. By 4pm yesterday my normally happy, smiley baby was writhing in pain with farts. Since then she seems incapable of bf-ing without getting upset and seems to have wind that I cannot get up. All day today she will not be put down and gets moments where she goes dark red and cries. She is not consitpated (she has pooed 3 times since the fruit). Do you think I have hurt her with the fruit? Should I stop solids altogether for another month even though she loved the veg and was sleeping better? Or should I continue with veg only?
