Kirley: it has only just come over the last couple of days so pretty sure it's the nappies, used Hydrazole cream last night and this morning it had healed. Wonder stuff it was so red and angry last night. Also using cooled chamomile tea to clean his bum, baby wipes leave a film of bacteria so hopefully we can prevent reoccurence. Thanks for your advice and support, diet does not seem to be going too bad, had rice milk with my porridge and in my tea, it wasn't too bad really. Managed to abstain from carrot cake for afternoon tea at a friends and stuck with my black tea. I have also gone off caffine mostly and his evening behaviour has much improved although a couple of naught cups of tea today mainly drinking herbal tea. CHamomile at night as it is supposed to go into your milk and help them sleep, yeah right!!

Tan: I certainly agree with Kirley on the solids thing. The days of early introduction of solids are long gone, they reckon it could well be contributing to the increasing number of kids with food allergies. The immature gut recognises food as foreign invader and produces antibodies and allergic reaction which they continue to have each time they are exposed to that food, makes sense. Plus they can't sit unaided and as Kirley said their tongue thrust relfex is still there so they wouldn't likely take much of it anyway. Stupid doctors!!
