my mum gave my 5mo blackberrys, no he's passing seeds! will this harm him?

[Tangas]

please set my mind at rest. my DS is on his second day of baby rice, my mother has given him blackberrys and icecream! i'm furious with her.
Just changed a nappy and DS has passed seeds!! he was screaming wile poohing, will this do his digestive system any damage?

I poop seeds on a regular basis and so does my DD

Now calm down you lot.

I would definitely stick to the WHO advice on weaning BUT... the fact that so many Mums (including me) weaned successfully under the rpevious guidelines would also mean i wouldn't worry about one incident like this, as long as it didn't happen again.

And seeds totall normal- they're designed to be poo'ed out by birds etc as part of their reproductive cycle, after all.

Babies are ready for food when they start picking it up, chewing it and eating it. Not before. Nature doesn't provide a baby with the ability to give coded messages that it needs food (re. the chewing at hands).

I'm sure that a bit of fresh fruit wont do any harm at all. It seems a more natural first food than ground up rice mixed with god-knows-what.

What on earth could possibly be wrong with tiny blackberry seeds. They're perfectly fine. I would be more annoyed about the ice cream with all that sugar and dairy.

Unless she force fed him three pounds of blackberries then I honestly can't for the life of me see what on earth there is to worry about.

Your poor mum.

Hi jorange5 - really don't want to turn this into a BLW debate, but what you've said is not strictly true.

My DS2 wasnt interested in picking up food and feeding himself until he was nearly year old, but was obviously ready for solid food before that.
