My youngest son just turned 1 and seems to have a lot of digestive troubles. He doesn't sleep at night if I give him any grains or dairy. I've tried lentils, beans, and soft cooked veggies, but they come back out looking about the same as they went in. We eat a lot of grains and dairy as a family, so I'm struggling to come up with things to feed him that doesn't mean cooking a whole separate meal. He's still breastfeeding, but since he started walking he's got a voracious appetite and milk's not enough. Any more ideas about what to feed him? Thanks for the ideas.

Runny noses, skin rashes the pop up, gassiness, trouble sleeping... I wait til my babies will physically put food in their own mouths and then swallow it as their 'readiness' indicator. So I'll provide them with soft chunks of food but I don't spoon feed them. It can look like so much!

I'm trying to figure out if my baby is sensitive to foods. Also, what do you mean by your son not needing to eat solid foods before a year? What were the signs of readiness for you? Thanks!

So I started her on pureed foods, but after some quick research, left out the cereal. We are going to delay grains for at least a yr for the most part, though she does have a bite or two every now and then. Ever since I started her on solids, she has begun gaining more and looking more sturdy despite becoming more active.

I've been wanting to go straight to solids and skip the purees with her, so thanks for the ideas when she's ready for it!
