Baby Won't Take Formula

I am looking to start weaning my 8 month old son, but am having problems getting him to take formula. He will take a bottle, no problem, but he won't take formula. I've tried Similac Advance, Enfamil, and just bought some soy formula today to see if that will make a difference. It doesn't matter if its me trying to give it, or my husband. I even had my husband try to mix half formula and half breastmilk, and he refused. I know he can smell the difference, and the taste is obviously different. It's not looking good. Any advice?

Diaper Rash and Table Food

My 10 month old has been eating table food and breast milk now for over a month and has had a persistent diaper rash ever since changing from baby food. Could there be a correlation between these two things? As long as I keep original Desitin on her she does fine. But if she misses the Desitin only once and she has a messy diaper, the rash comes back with vengeance - raw, red, and bleeding. Has anyone else dealt with this and what did you do? Help! She is screaming so often with messy diapers and during her diaper changes and I'm sick...

Feeding Cereal to newborn...terrible Diapers

We have recently started feeding my almost 6 month old son baby cereal. Prior to this he was exclusively breastfed. We started with rice cereal mixed with breastmilk once a day. He loved it and tolerated it well. Then we moved on to try oatmeal cereal mixed with breastmilk once a day. Since starting the oatmeal, he has several (4-5+) terrible, stinky, foul, greenish poopy diapers a day. Unfortunately, it coincides with my daughter being sick with cough/cold/fever. I am wondering if he has a touch of a bug from his sister OR is it a...

Help Please in Spoon Feeding and Softening Bowels

My two requests for help are related. My usually happy one year old daughter has been in terrible pain for the last two days because of very hard bowels that she has great trouble pushing out. It is heartbreaking to hear her cry so much and feel her straining to push but with no success. We brought her to the pediatrician yesterday who told us we absolutely needed to feed her apricot nectar and prunes, as well as other whole grains and whole fruit/veg. The problem is my daughter has never liked to be spoon-fed (we've tried letting her hold...

"No Veggies Please" 16 Month Old

My son has always loved his veggies. He would actually choose them above anything. He would have different favorites; zucchini, squash, green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, broccolli, califlower... Almost seems like overnight, he decided he was not going to eat them anymore. He will not eat any of the previous favorites. And he now refused to try any new. He will only eat tomatoes and black beans. I am looking for any creative suggestions to get him excited about them again. Or any other suggestions on your children's favorites.
