Solids related to crankiness?

[gracevlikevrain]

I started Kate on solids yesterday, just rice cereal at lunch time she ate less than a tablespoon...but she's been really cranky the past couple days, and it seems like she's uncomfortable.  She's 5 1/2 months old so I don't think I started her to early and she isn't eating much, and I'm wondering if it's related

I started my 5mo old son on solids last week and he seems to be doing fine, although he officially has figured out how to keep his mouth shut when the spoon is coming. He likes the bottle waaay more than the solids. Oh well. I had to do it sometime (and I'm really hoping that it will help him sleep a little more at night). I don't know if the diaper rash is related to the solids, but I know that EJ's poo changed just yesterday, after being on solids for nearly a week now... but no rash. Call your pediatrician and see what they say... that would be my suggestion!

Yep, I was thinking about seeing how she does after lunch tomorrow, and then calling if the pattern continued. She doesn't seem too upset at the moment, so it's also possible whatever it is will pass on its own and I'm just worried over nothing. :)

Is she teething? That always gave my babes a diaper rash.

OH. I haven't thought of that! She's sleeping now, but I'll have to check that in the morning (hopefully she'll still sleep through!). Thanks! :)
