Re: Please help my 9 month old - digestive issues (long)

Hello. This is hard I know. It really sounds like he does not need food, just you nursing him! If that was going well, keep going until he Fights you for a taste of what you are eating. If you were having problems with just nursing, then you have to think about your diet. All meds, caffeine and a long list of things like spicy food. You can find more info at lalecheleague.org. You should offer only fresh fruit when He is ready and he will not starve whith nursing or a nibble of food, only. Some of my children did not eat, but very little, until almost three years. They are grown and they are getting taller than me now!. Idealy, a baby will have enough teeth to chew or gum what he wants. For example, it does not make sense to me to feed a baby baby food with meat in it. It is silly. They would not be able to chew an animal, with no teeth, LOL! But the industry is cleaver about making you feel guilty if you do not offer this and that, then and when, and blah blah from auntie or friends, it all adds up to guilt. Baby food in a jar is not food. Baby food is what you eat, when it is sweet juicy, natural fruits! This is the ideal diet. Believe me, pressure to hurry and feed comes from all dirrections but really he is fine without food until after one year, or until he is the one wanting to feed himself. Food is a poison to him and he knows it. The otc meds are a HUGE problem as well. They are toxic and only add to gas or other problems. I never trust an otc as safe. Any MD would not guarantee that otc's or other meds would not harm a person. They could never know for sure and damage does not only show up as a noticable "reaction". Find info on increasing the nutrients in your milk. Sometimes you may just need alot more uncooked foods to enrich your milk. Nursing also helps with teething. I hope this helps. Best of all step back and ask yourself what you think he really needs and do not be afraid to listen. You already did that when you said "No" to vaccinations!!!!! : )
