    Neither of mine had upset tums either. Good on you for doing what was right for your bub!

    With my DS2 I started him on solids around 6 months, but he had a very very unsettled time, which I knew was from the food, so I stopped for a few weeks, and waited for his digestive system to grow a bit more then we started again. He was much happier the second time, but we still took things slowly. Each baby is different, and I agree, if you think it is the food, stop, wait a bit and start again. They dont need the food at that age... "Food is fun until they are one". I just repeat that to anyone bothering me about food. Good luck. xo

    None of mine have had upset tummies either. Some had mush, some BLS.

    I'm another saying that DS didn't get an upset tummy and we introduced solids BSL style too

    I had this same issue with R when i first started him on solids so like you i stopped them and tried again a few weeks later and things have been fine this time around.

    I don't agree at all that bubs needs to get used to having an upset tummy, i mean if something was giving us an upset tummy we are hardly going to keep eating it are we - so why would you keep feeding it to a baby! It's quiet obvious that the solids are causing Missy pain and the reflux flares back up again....your doing the right thing darl in just going back to BF she will be ready for solids in her own time - don't worry what anyone else has to say, she is your baby.

    Take care x

    We did BLS from just before 6 months and had no problems with upset tummies either... I think if they're not ready, then you should give it time and wait till they are, after all, food is for fun until they're one!
