Warning, a bit gross.
We gave DS (over 8 mos) his first finger foods the other day at lunch, Gerber veggie puffs. He ate two of them. That night he cried, initially refused his dreamfeed, and was up a 2 hr stretch before he got back to sleep. The next day he was straining to poop all morning, when he finally did that afternoon the two puffs were in there -- they had not digested.
Is this normal for a child this age?
DS has two teeth, don't know if that makes a difference. I thought the puffs are supposed to dissolve (tested some in my mouth before giving to DS)?
I think we'll be sticking to purees for a while longer and at least continue to hold off on meats/dairy until after his doctor's appointment in a couple of weeks.
