Big trouble trying weaning onto baby rice - Has anyone else had similar problems with their reflux baby?
Hi there!
I have been giving my lo now 25 weeks organic purest gluten free baby rice in attempt to wean her, however she is immediately sick after just one to two tiny spoons and then continues to be sick for the rest of the day, making her acid reflux worse until she has a screaming attack for three hours due to getting so sore. This has happened over the last three days and so I have decided not to give her any rice at all today - so no solids. I have been told by my hv and gp so many times that reflux babies will be helped by the weaning process, ie solids to help keep the milk and acid down, however this is just worsening Poppy's situation. Has anyone had a similar experience or has heard of weaning making reflux episodes worse instead of better? I will again ring the hospital tomorrow for advice but no-one came back to me today.
Thank you for any comments/views in advance.
Best wishes, joanne

Sorry hun I think I am one of the ones whose babies reflux gets better with solids - she still struggles with milk terribly but solids are great - since I have been giving her solids she sleeps better and is generally happier - best move I made - however baby rice was not a very good choice for her so I went onto cereal, veg and fruit and so far no solid food has caused her a problem - just the milk so we are seeing a dietician tomorrow to talk about how much milk she needs minimum a day so I can stope fighting her with the milk - she really wants 2-3 oz milk every 3 hours and 4 solid meals a day and if I want her to take more milk its a big bug fight which upsets us both
