my baby has always been a sickie baby and got told he will just grow out of it. he now stops being sick on milk feed but ow is sick on soilds. he is 8 months and has 3 jars a day at different times some i bigger than others and he still brings it back up throughout the day. we have just been giving gaviscon since me going on at one at the octor because im just at my wits end now. gaviscon thickens up milk but its the soilds his bringing up. we have also been told to give him less. i dont want to give him any more less as he wont be hardly having any food during the day. we got him weighed 2 wks ago and he was 15.5lbs at 7months 3 weeks, going again next week as worried about his weight. doctors and health vistors are meant to help you but im just getting the same old answers. please has anyone else had this problem

Well, if you want him to gain weight, it's actually better to decrease the solids and add more breastmilk/formula, as milk generally has more calories ounce per ounce than solids. One exception I believe is avocado. At 7 months old, solids should not make up a huge part of the diet.

I'm so sorry Danielle, this sounds like such a hard situation. Do the docs think your little man has allergies? (to soy, cow or some other things?) Perhaps just pick up some super fresh organic sweet potatoes and apples, cook them and puree them yourself, and see if that works for him. Perhaps its the allergens or preservatives in the jarred food? Some babies can be extremely sensitive. Maybe even give him some mashed bits of fresh banana? Really wishing you the best of luck!!
