He took one lick, gagged, and threw up his breastmilk. The following week, I did butternut squash. One lick, gagged, and threw up. Then I tried sweet potato. The same thing happened. And now I'm on the 2nd day of avocado. Still turning away and gagging but I distracted him enough for him not to throw up. Sigh.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06102362663976429651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6161775617346523537.post-68285006805863302022010-09-16T07:11:32.639-07:002010-09-16T07:11:32.639-07:00Oh don't feel so bad.

My poor son just gets constipated easily. He can't help it. Some kids do. <br />It is sad though because they don't really know how to push and get it out unless it just flows. Yuck, sorry for putting it that way. <br />Anyways, I hope the constipation and eating gets better :)Meant to be a momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593510601585009840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6161775617346523537.post-8850476248371631102010-09-16T04:33:56.693-07:002010-09-16T04:33:56.693-07:00Oh no!

As the self-proclaimed "constipation expert" (and as I've taught you the song my Dad used to sing, you'll have to agree it has clearly been a long running trend) I did know bananas were an issue but didn't know rice was! Even I've learned something new!! None of what you are saying seems obvious so it is good you are asking for resources.

Don't be so hard on yourself, it's not like these babes come with instruction manuals and whoever knew it could all be so complicated. I'm still trying to get the BFing down and it's been 12 weeks. One thing I've heard from other parents that I didn't see in your post was to only introduce 1 new solid each week. That way you will know the culprit if they develop an allergy or if it just doesn't agree with their digestive system. It also allows them to slowly adjust to the big change.
