Ok, so I went against my gut and started rice cereal with my dd–shes 5 months old and showing signsof interest, and my dr suggested it and of course I was hoping (even though there is no proof) that it would help her sleep through the night (still waiting in vain for that day)
She has had 2 days of Earths best rice cereal mixed with neocate. She had excema behind her ears prior to introing but now she has a few more patches, her cradle cap is back, and she is all splotchy again like she was on nutramigen….am I crazy….its rice cereal, with no milk, no soy, we arent doing oatmeal cuz of gluten issues in the family…is it a coincedence or can there be a connection….she also oddly has explosive diapers again, but no mucous…argh….Im stopping it as of now, but I am also using hydrocortisone on the excema to give her some relief….
anyone else had this? Should I just try sweet potato like I wanted (dr told me grain would be best, why do I listen to him…)
sorry to ramble…she was doing good for awhile….
Thanks for any info
oh and she loved eating so I think she thinks shes ready, but maybe her body isnt??

Awww….poor sweetie. It’s not so bad when they are not interested, but it must be sad to see her wanting to eat and not being able to give her any.
