We're still waiting for a paed appt and seeing plunket fortnightly but Quinn is loosing weight and was showing all the signs of being ready to start solids (probably because shes starving...) Ive tried farex, avocado, pears, banana and carrots and its been terrible with all of them. She also will not take a bottle so havent had any success with getting her to take formula. Does anyone have any ideas what i can do next - either foods i can try or anything else? Waiting to see our GP again but cant get in until Wednesday (how do people know they're going to be sick so far in advance???)
Thanks! -------------  Angel Baby Aug '12, Feb '13 |

What do you mean by terrible? Has she refused to eat them, or reacted to them? Could you offer formula in a cup or off a spoon? Or even frozen in an iceblock for her to suck? ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

While your waiting to see gp can you dream feed her. We have had serious issues with our DD refusing to eat or drink and was having to force feed. I set my alarm at night to get up 2 to 3 times to dream feed her so she was getting some fluids in and filling her up. Even if she just drinks a few mouthfuls. Once she is in bed, just go in every hour if she won't dream feed and whole one and get her to take a few mouthfuls. Its hard work, but if she is refusing everything else, this could help get you to Wednesday. ------------- http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/545141" rel="nofollow">  |

Can you sweeten the formula just to get some in, ie with brown sugar or vanilla essence?
Also have you tried those silly little bottles that you get a the $2 shop type places, the ones with the narrow neck & tiny teat? That is the only one Cooper would take. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">
