Hi
I have a doughter ...she is 5 months old..I have started giving her cerelac from last three weeks...I also give her dal rice....I geve her mashed bannana couple of times...she takes it all...she is a happy baby...but for last few days she is crying a lot..which she never did before...she used to play by herself for a long time and only if she is hungry or sleepy then she used to cry a little...but now she is not ready to play at all..I tried every thing ..swings,bouncer ect..but she just wants to sit on my lap all the time...it is difficult coz I am alone at home and I can't do anything if I have to carry her everywhere...
I stared giving her gerber food for last 3-4 days (bannana,sweetpotato)...can this be a cause..does it contain any preservatives?or anything which may not suit her?...she even cry a lot when I try to put her to sleep(even if she is very sleepy)
Please help... Nandini replied. No offense to the other reply. Never give your baby honey before 12 months of age and don't let baby sleep on tummy as it increase the risk of SIDS. Try introducing one food at a time wait a couple of days before starting another one. Try to divert baby from crying with a new toy or walk outside. Try mylox or whatever you use for gas. Allow the baby to play on tummy for sometime. Check whether shez constipated and give more fluids. Don't force food on baby if they are crying. Hope your baby is feeling good now. Good luck. Noorjahan replied. Hi. I would like to suggest that its best not to bring her out once the sky is dark. Gerber foods are alright because I too give my baby gerber nestum. Try to give her gripewater might be having stomach upsets or sugar water. try to put her in a crawling/position with the legs straight. Some babies sleep well in this position. dal may cause gas upsets. try to reduce on that and give more fiber related foods. Mix about 1tsp of honey to 2 ounces of water. Hopefully it helps. Don't worry mum. She would be alright in a few days time
