Babyternals

As a new mom I was looking forward to the time when I could begin feeding my son solid foods. There’s just something so cute about a baby having baby food all over his face. Well, when he turned four months old the doctor said to begin him on rice cereal. So, one morning I gave him rice cereal mixed with his formula for breakfast and he loved it. Well, an hour and a half later my son was very sick, vomiting everywhere. I called the doctor and they said it could have been a reaction but more than likely he had a virus. So I waited about week and then tried it again. The same thing happened an hour and a half after he ate it. I just know he’s allergic to the rice cereal but all my research says that baby’s are less likely to be allergic to rice that’s why you start them off with it. But as a mom I can’t knowly give my child something that’s made him sick now, twice.  He eats other fruits and vegetables from the jar fine so I mostly just feed him those. I tried the oatmeal cereal after the rice incidents and he doesn’t seem to care for it and it doesn’t settle well with him either. Maybe when he gets older I can try giving him regular cooked rice and see how he does with that, but we won’t be trying it any time soon.
