Hiya,

I think it might be a bit early for him to be eating things like that, his tummy isn't mature enough. That might be why his tummy is hurting him and is upset.

Try starting him on baby rice and pureed veg, maybe buy a weaning book (can recommend the Anabel Karmel Baby & Toddler cookbook) and see how you go with that.

I'm sure he'll feel better when it's out of his system.

Try giving him some cooled boiled water and maybe some gripe water and see if that helps his tummy.

Poor baby, yes cooled boiled water should help, poor kid should not be eating those foods so early. Like Gemmas said. He needs lots of fluids, to make sure he does not get dehydrated. Probably not milk thoough as this can irritate it.
