He's on rice cereal. The ped doesn't want me to start solids at all for another month, but she caved for the cereal as he's doubled his birthweight and was downing well over a liter of milk a day.
I'm seriously considering starting the strained fruit about now.
Everything wrong with you I like.
I like this one.
Raq, not that I should be giving advice on babies, being single and babyless, but how long has he been on the rice cereal? Because rice can be binding.
sj, shouldn't you be sleeping?
the SILof a frind of mine who raised kids on a raw food diet usded to make grape juice for her kids. Basicly, grapes in the blender - she was very careful to water it down severly, because of the effect it had on her kids.
I am guessing that is what the lemon juice is for. but I am guessing with the baby's natural tendency to go for the sweet a pure fruit juice - well water down- would help. Unfortunatly, I am not a doctor and nor do I have kids - so I have no way of telling you anything real about this?
sj, shouldn't you be sleeping?
Yes. I really should be, but I woke up very sore about a half hour ago and it hurt too much to continue to lay down, so I am up for a bit. I promise to try sleep again soon.

How old is he now, Raq? What I'd suggest sort of depends on that.
Raq, my friend had the same problem with her son (he was allergic to milk, though and could only drink soy). Her ped told her to put a little prune juice in his formula. It was before he started solids, too.
He's 5 months old (and hollering at the moment). The increased amounts of plain water and the water with lemon seem to be helping some but it's still a problem.
I haven't seen prune juice here - I think I'll throw some grapes in the blender and strain them and see what happens with that.
Good luck, Raq.
I was googling for plums/prunes in Greece. They're a specialty on the island of Skopelos. But I had to stop because the pictures are so gorgeous, I want to go there. *sigh* Crystal blue waters, blindingly white villas. DH wants to go back as soon as we get the chance.
Poor Mal! I have no idvice, Raq, but good luck.
I have a very busy day today: 10am appointment with DTA, 1pm appointment with therapist, 2:30pm coffee with friend, 7pm knitting/crochet group. What happened to getting a couple weeks of break before school started? ;)

the last two things sound like fun, at least!
