Weaning and stomach issues

[Lyn84]

Have been weaning my little girl for the last 7 weeks and she just can't seem to handle it in those weeks we have had 5 good nights with her the rest she has cried all night in pain either from constipation or just upset stomach and either way then she will hardly take a bottle because of it yesterday she only took one bottle in 24hrs so i had to syringe water into her mouth to stop her dehydrating I told my health visitor and she is referring her to a dietician and a paediatrician to make sure she has no allergies other than her lactose intolerance and they is no health issue behind it, has anyone else experienced this?

It can sometimes take babies a little while for their digestive systems to get used to food but it does sound like your little one is struggling more than most poor little thing.

I don’t know what you’re feeding her or how many times a day but If not already then maybe go back to basics and just do 1 meal a day with one food (I would start with veg) so that she gradually gets used to it. You might find that she deals with some food better than others and if she does have an intolerance it might even highlight what it is for you.

Ive gone back to just breakfast no lunch and she totally fine now and taken her bottles much better, I think I will carry this on for a few weeks and try lunch again see if her digestive system has matured more by then to handle it
