note to self - don't feed spicy lamb burgers to dd again. what weaning mistakes have you made?

[deaconblue]

she loved it and ate more than she has of anything so far. Horrendous gut ache two hours later and lots of screaming. Poor baby, foolish mother.

weetabix

comes out the same as it went in and it's endless.

Beans at dinner time, in any shape or form.

It means I am woken by loud and noxious farts, right in my face, around 2am. Often accompanied with kicks to my head

Giving blwed d/s bits of mild chicken curry to feed himself when he was very tired, que rubbing of eyes, mad sceaming and head under kitchen sink - stupid knakard!!!

Cauliflower cheese - she loved it. She then woke every hour through the night, screamed for a bit till she squeezed out a stinking fart then went back to sleep. Till the next one....

haha! more please. i am waiting to wean and storing these all up (pretty sure i will make lots myself anyway)

Beetroot - not in itself a mistake, but just DO NOT FORGET they have had it and get v v worried there is blood in nappy

i second cauliflower cheese, about 6 dirty nappies in a row the next day, actually any cheese sauce based thing. Oh and raisins which definitely come out the same but i still give because they occupy him for at least half an hour and i can do the washing up / clean the floor / mn.

Knowing full well that tomatoes and peppers both activated dd's bowels and gave her the runs, I fed her:

ratatouille.

O.M.G.

Poo everywhere, out of the sides of her nappies, over the back, down her legs, at every bowel movement for the next 24h.

Not that she minded. She loved the ratatouille, and all the baths.

These are funny... I second the weetabix - we ended up with a day off nursery and a visit to the GP to investigate a worrying rash - and I think it was all because of the weetabix poos. It was a shame because she loved eating it. Has anyone tried Hipp-a-bisc? I don't know if it's anymore digestible than normal weetabix. I am being very cautious about citrus and tomatoes to avoid a recurrence.

Not a mistake as such, but one time, the only thing on the menu when eating out that ds could eat (allergies) was haggis and tatties.

He did a poop in his nappy overnight and by the morning the spices had burned his bum red raw.

He really enjoyed the haggis though! ]

We fed DS haggis when he was about 10 month old.....horrible gut ache and wind ensued. Never again.

kiwifruit......it takes forever to clean all the little seeds off their backsides the next day

and carrotsandpeas, I disagree about the raisins! they go in as raisins and come out as sultanas

DH once brought one of DD1's nappies to me in a bit of a panic - what was the wierd white lump in it? Well, that would be an albino sultana..... was brown when she ate it though

yy the good old raisin trick.
