yes Lizzy I hear you on all accounts. Huge huge hugs! I just hope the teethign hurries up for you!
Just for working with what you got, you could cook the swede and lamb in a little stock to make them tast different. Do you vary the textures, offer swede as steamed chips? I just started with a tiny bit of rice bran oil today on swede chips, lightly baked in the oven.What about diced steamed swede for him to pick up? Also, you can give rice puff for finger food, rice cakes, rice rusks, and of course boring old rice cereal. I have also started giving a little cooked lamb bone for him to knaw on (from a frenched cutlet) just to mix it up). He loves it for his teething!
Not fair about these stupid low foods being gassy. I think a 10 month old should be able to handle the gassy side of things qiute well. I would just forge on with the green beans until you are sure of what's what. We are in the same boat with teething too, and introducing green beans (don't they just make a gorgeous green colour and taste lovely and sweet when mashed up?) and had some of his worst reflux days yet. Over the 4 days have done green beans, two of them were soooo bad. But I just knew in the my heart of hearts that it could not be the beans, as wouldn't he get progressively worse, not just a bad day here and there ? Anyway, my intuition was right, today I spotted a white spot on his gum the third tooth to come in 2 weeks
And its a bloody canine
I have decided not to hold up the introduction of "low" foods whilst he is teething. (for the sake of getting him on a varied diet). However if I run out of the lows, I will not introduce a moderate sal or moderate amine unless he is having 3 symptom free days and not teething anymore, as I need to be absolutely certain as to what is what.
HTH
Just some news on us, we have hope for a psosible third introduction of pear. He is getting a third tooth now. So it all could have been teething. I am starting to see a pattern, his reflux lfaring up is tnot just indicative of a food reaction, it is teething related too!
Since I last got on we have introduced
lamb
green beans
quinoa puffs
rice puffs
rice bran oil (just a tiny tiny bit)
I am looking for rolled quinoa so I can give it for breakfast.... need to get to the organic co-op for that one.
