Hi ladies
Gosia darl that is the scientific name for chamomilla, why they dont use names we all understand is a mystery 2 me.
The lactose apparantly helps release the water retention in the gums, so the less fluid the easier it is to teeth.
Sorry to sound like a boffin did two years of med school.......
Liz, I have been using Annabel Karmel the baby food guru as my weening bible and it does state its best to go for the same thing for three days to see if there is any adverse reaction, then swap to a new thing, also this gives baby a chance to get used to the taste of things.
I have been giving Eisa Porridge as he just refuses rice but will try another make.
I have also been making all his food myself so easy got A K cookbooks and food mill and blender just make a batch of food a week and freeze it.
The most recommended food by pedeatricians (plz xcuse spelling) for weaning is carrot, sweet potato, papaya, apple, pear, banana, butternut squash, parsnip, potato, avocado.
Also keep a list of what was liked and what wasnt, keep an eye of stools if something makes them constipated or gives them the runs.
Hope this helps
