My son is almost 8 months old and has been eating solids for a little under two months now. He loves food and eats likea champ. I have been making all his baby food, and he has had a variety of fruits and veggies and oatmeal and rice, both of which I make myself by grinding up the grains before cooking. At each meal he eats about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup of food, usually 50/50 grains and fruit or veggie, and he eats at breakfast and dinner.
There are two issues I am wondering about. One is that he seems constipated lately. The second is that he wakes still 2-3 times between 7pm and 7am and wants to nurse and takes in a fair bit of milk at each wake up. But he also seems bothered at some wakeups too, perhaps uncomfortable... I am wondering if these two issues are related?
Any tips on helping with digestion? We have introduced a sippy cup recently but he doesn''t guzzle water from it yet. I also wonder if he needs a third meal of solids in the day?
Any advice about your experiences would be really helpful!
