you might want to make sure you arent bathing him with anything but water too... dry skin can be common but some baby products will make it worse. night grumpiness could be teeth as well..

a good idea to stop the pumpkin and reintroduce slowly tho...]]> Tue, 20 Apr 2010 22:49:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=1002082&title=intolerence-help-please#1002082 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=1001542&title=intolerence-help-please#1001542 Author: Peanut

AandC - I asked about the rash on his face and she thinks it was probably more due to his attempts at crawling as I described it and showed her a picture I had of him with it on my phone. Apparently excema behind the ears is very common in babies and should clear up in the next couple of months.

I am following your advice and have gone back to the basics in feeding e.g one food at a time and increasing amounts etc just in case as still not entirely convinced its not an intolerence but at least I feel slight more proactive.]]> Tue, 20 Apr 2010 15:17:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=1001542&title=intolerence-help-please#1001542 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=1001431&title=intolerence-help-please#1001431 Author: AandCsmum

That's good to hear but Reflux won't be causing a rash on his face.]]> Tue, 20 Apr 2010 13:37:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=1001431&title=intolerence-help-please#1001431 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=1001364&title=intolerence-help-please#1001364 Author: Peanut

Thanks for your input, ladies.

I went back to the GP as after hearing that a couple of people didn't think I was being precious made me feel more confident.

The GP doesn't think its intolerence but thinks that he def still has reflux so we are now on losec. I feel terrible for taking him off his meds when he still needed them.

There's an interesting article about intolerances vs allergies in the latest Ohbaby mag, if you haven't seen it already.]]> Mon, 19 Apr 2010 22:26:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=1000992&title=intolerence-help-please#1000992 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=1000798&title=intolerence-help-please#1000798 Author: busyissy

I don't know a great deal about food intolerances (with the exception of lactose intolerance which our little girl has and is the bane of our lives!) but I know a little about excema, and with infants it is a common indication of food allergies/intolerances. I think it would be a good idea to ask your GP though.]]> Mon, 19 Apr 2010 19:31:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=1000798&title=intolerence-help-please#1000798 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=999238&title=intolerence-help-please#999238 Author: AandCsmum

It could definitely be intolerances.

This website [Food intolerance Network Has a heap of information on it. What you need to be looking at is Salicylate intolerance. This is an acid in fruits & vegetables, most concentration is just beneath the skin.

He might have a certain amount he can eat of pumpkin, so let him have a few days back on his original diet until he's sleeping better & then start introducing pumpkin again by small amounts & increase it daily to you find a level that he can eat. Intolerances improve with age as the body gets bigger.

What type of pumpkin did you use? The lowest salicylate pumpkin is butternut if you are making it yourself. I usually leave them to ripen for a few weeks before using ones I get at the supermarket.

Pears are also a great first food. I've found the baby food ones fine.

Feel free to ask questions, I live this daily.]]> Sat, 17 Apr 2010 20:40:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=999238&title=intolerence-help-please#999238 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=999186&title=intolerence-help-please#999186 Author: Peanut

Am trying to work out if its me being precious or if there is something up with my child so any opinions welcome and I am sorry for the long post.

#1 has no problems with anything at all and DH and I both have no allergy/intolerence issues either.

DS#2 is FF and has been since birth. He was diagnosed with reflux at about 4 weeks after 2 weeks of crying/screaming and spilling constantly. He was put on ranitidane which was great. At this stage he would also have the occasional green poo. At about 8 weeks I found patches of excema behind and in his ear.

At about 4 months we stopped the medication as he was fine without it. We started solids about 3 weeks ago. We were on holiday so used canned stuff (Green Monkey - Organic) and he seemed fine, although he got terrible rashes on his face but I thought it was due to his new found habit of rubbing his face over the floor in his attempts to crawl. In the last week at home he has been having pumpkin and has spent the entire night grizzling in his sleep as well as his excema getting worse and him getting extremely spilly again and crying on and off during the day.

My question is - would this be an intolerence? Or is he just unhappy about the solids experience? I have kinda always felt like something was up with him right from his reflux diagnose but he seemed ok for a while there.

Thoughts, ideas, advice, opinions - all welcome please! ]]> Sat, 17 Apr 2010 19:11:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32912&PID=999186&title=intolerence-help-please#999186
