Cereal

You always start cereal before you start baby foods. We did the same. However, we didn't realize that said cereal was causing Kayden such discomfort!

I could always tell that Kayden's stomach just never seemed to feel right. He wasn't exceptionally fussy but he definitely wasn't the happiest baby you've ever met either. After bouts of crying and constant constipation, I decided we were going to cut out ALL food altogether and see what happens. After a week it was apparent that there was indeed something that he was eating that was causing his stomach to hurt. He transformed into a total different baby! He was constantly happy and laughing, and didn't mind to just sit in the floor a play for as long as an hour! Before, there was no way on earth that this child would just sit and play by himself. He had to constantly be held and comforted.

I kinda thought that the cereal may be what was causing the problem so we never reintroduced it, and we haven't had any problems. We are going to talk to the doctor about it at his 9 month appointment, but I am really hoping it is just the additional iron in the cereal on top of the formula that was causing the problem and not that he has some type of allergy.
