DS2 is 7 and a half months. He's not on all that much in the way of solids as we've had some constipation issues.
Anyway, I tried introducing broccoli a while ago but he had a horrendous night following that and I was unsure whether it was the broccoli or teething (as he is permanently teething, and not too good at it
) or an excess of sugar in my milk as it was over Easter and I overindulged. I didn't offer it again for a bit thinking that maybe it was just a bit too much of a windy vegetable for now.
I tried him on some broccoli and carrot yesterday and we had a horrendous night. I thought due to teething as there is a tiny corner of tooth that looks like it wants to come through but I gave him a smaller amount lunchtime today and he screamed the place down for a few hours this afternoon and no amount of teething gel was helping (paracetamol and ibuprofen do nothing for him generally but dentinox gel usually gives him a bit of temporary relief).
So I'm thinking maybe it is an intollerance. He hasn't had any skin breakouts and he didn't seem to be affected at all while he was eating it.
Anyone know how likely it is to have a broccoli intollerance. Isn't that something that 10 year olds invent to get out of eating their greens. Also, how long after eating would you expect it to still be affecting them? He ate a pretty small amount today around 12 and is still unsettled at nearly 8pm - could that still fit?
Needless to say I won't be offering it again for quite a while - if I offer it after a couple of months am I courting a full on allergy?
Thanks for any advice.
