Baby rice & baby porridge

Any recommendations for the above please?

My 6 month old is having lots of tummy trouble with the beginning of his weaning journey so we're stopping fruit and veg and going back to basics (HV and doc advice).

My LB is EBF so we would need to use cool, boiled water.

TIA 😊

I would personally not introduce any simple carbs. My baby did great on mashes avacadoes and sweet potatoes and bananas in the beginning. She was never fed rice and porridge and no stomach issues. Try those and see. :)

@Nemra, unfortunately, Avocado and banana have not suited him so far, but mash potato and sweet potato have settled well.

I used the aptamil baby rice or porridge to begin with and began mixing in mashed blueberries or strawberries or banana after a while and a little bit cinnamon

We just use regular porridge oats, the baby stuff is a rip-off!

sweet potatoes worked for my girl. At 6 months they’re not really eating much so maybe just see how she is, feed ever other day to give a break to the tummy.
I’m using Kendamil baby rice, she doesn’t love it - she is 7 months atm

Why isn’t a dishwasher okay to wash baby bottles ?

Just wondering please no judgment when my kids were babies I just washed them in the dishwasher.

No kissing

Those of you who didn't let anyone kiss your babies, when did you start to let them?

I've had a no kissing rule since my LG was born, which was fine at the start but there have been a few incidents lately where her grandparents have kissed her where we have had to say something. One of these incidents she ended up in hospital with bronchiolitis and the other grandparent suffers from cold sores so I'm uncomfortable with her ever kissing my LG if I'm honest.

I just want to protect her but my partner thinks there needs to be a cut off point where we say it's ok.

Co-Sleeping

I’m seeing alot of mums mentioning co-sleeping, at my hospital they had us sign a paper saying we wouldn’t and all the risks of it.

I’m just curious why there is so much negative on it when it seems it’s a positive in some cases I’ve read.

When is everyone washing baby clothes?

I am 32 weeks today with my first and wondering when I should be washing the baby clothes etc? Don’t want to do it too soon but also don’t want to be stressed.

HELP

Mums I’m loosing my mind!!! My daughter is 3 months old in a few days and we’ve had a lot of ups and downs with her feeding. She is formula fed only. She was having the symptoms minus rash for CMPA / Reflux and the DR is trialing her on Aptamil Pepti she’s been on this now for 2 weeks. We were doing really well on it. She wasn’t fussing at the bottle anymore and her stomach wasn’t making noises, no more congestion etc etc.

But the past few days it’s started again, she’s fussing at it instantly, she wants it but she doesn’t, I can hear her taking air in because she’s crying at it, I can hear her stomach again. She is sounding wheezy again. I’ve just spent a good 45 minutes giving her her bedtime bottle and it was the worst it’s been! Why?!?! Wanting the bottle, but crying. Sometimes it’s like she can’t take a breath or she doesn’t know how to breathe properly while drinking it. She has the slow flow teats as the formula is watery consistency so I felt like the number 2 teats were choking her.

I’m at my wits end with it I am getting so frustrated with it because I don’t know why!!!!!!

Please can someone guide me in the right direction as to what is going on because I I just want to cry!!!!!

Anyone else's baby NOT sleeping through the night?

I would never have expected this, but I am seeing so many comments from mums saying that their baby sleeps through the night. It can't just be my baby who is waking up every 1-2 hours? Please say I am not alone...
