...seems to be getting terrible wind, especially in the night (v. loud and smelly farts causing obvious discomfort sorry if TMI), and is producing several rather nasty poos per day. They are quite mucussy (sp?) but he does also have a cold so I don't know if that's the problem or if something is upsetting his tum.
Over the last week or so he's really got the hang of self feeding and much more is going in his mouth than on the floor - he's really enjoying himself, and with blw I know he should only be eating what he can cope with, but I'm getting concerned that he's eating too much and upsetting his digestion.
For example, today he's so far had half a slice of toast and half a banana for breakfast, and a home made fishcake and some sweetcorn for lunch. Last night he had a strip of pork chop (couldn't believe that he managed to tear some bits off with his 2 tiny teeth but he did and was still chewing it a good while later!), about 3 sticks of steamed carrot, some potato and cauliflower cheese. It's not all going in but a lot is, and genuinely all on his own.
He's breast fed and still having 4 breast feeds a day plus a little one after lunch (more a drink I think). He's having milk first thing, breakfast about 8, milk around 10, lunch at 12 followed by milk before his nap, milk at 4ish, dinner at 5.30 and milk before bed at 7. Should I bfeed closer to his solids? Not sure logistically how this would work though. He's waking up at least twice a night for milk too - is this because he's filling up too much on solids? He doesn't seem to be drinking significantly less milk in the day though, although he was on 2 and a half or 3 hourly feeds before weaning.
Sorry for long rant. I thought I'd be pleased when he started eating well, but it seems that it's just made me worry about something else instead
