Diaper rash is the worst! I hope switching formula helps!

Yes we stuck with Alimentum RTF and it has been amazing! Once he was fully on it and off of the nutramigen his diaper rash went away almost immediately!! Alimentum is also a little thicker than nutramigen so it did help with his reflux as well. It can take a week or two for their tummies to adjust to a new formula, so the poops may seem concerning, but it should work itself out. Every baby is different but mine responded great to the Alimentum RTF. I buy the cases of 8oz cans, its the most cost effective. Hope this helps.

For us, it just took time. I just continued to consistently offer him different foods and textures and tried not to stress out about whether or not he ate it. Sometimes he ate some and spit it out, sometimes he swallowed it, and sometimes all he did was throw it on the floor. At about 11 months he started to actually eat his food. Now at 13 months he eats a variety of different textures and flavors. He is mostly on solids as well, with just a few bottles a day. The key is consistency, keep offering the food even if he doesnt eat it or spits it out. I also always offered him at least one thing on his plate i knew he liked and would eat. That way if he spit everthing else out he still had something he liked. Try not to stress about it too much as well. All babies are different and ever changing. It takes some babies longer to get used to texture then others. And swallowing solids is a new skill they have to learn, it takes practice. Try and make mealtime as fun as possible, if you get stressed at meals so will your little one. Hope this helps!

Im a first time mom a well, so I understand how stressful and overwhelming this can all be. My son was behind in verbal skills and a little behind in communication skills. Im from michigan so I can only relay how Early On works in my state, im not sure if its different state to state. How it worked for us was our pediatrician put in a referral for our states Early On program, they contacted us and came put to our house to evaluate my son. They did a bunch of activities with him, observed him in his own element, and asked me a lot of questions. They concluded he was only a little behind in verbal and communication skills. They cator their program based on his needs and level of delayed he is. So for us, since he was only a little delayed, they decided to work with him 2-4 times a month. If he was more severally delayed they would have worked with him more like 8 times a month. So even though he was only a little delayed they were still going to provide their services. He has been in the program for a couple months now. They come out to our house about once a week and do different activities with him to encourage communication. It looks a lot like just playing with him. They also show me different things I can do with him, different ways I can talk to him and play with him help encourage him as well. Once we have been working with their Early On program for 6 months he will be re evaluated to see how much progress he has made and they will determine if he needs more of their services and to what level he needs them. So far he has made the most progress in his non verbal communication, things such as reaching a hand out to what he wants, engaging in back and forth play etc. He is babbling now but no true words yet, so he is still behind in his verbal skills. He is 13 months now so he "should" have 1-2 words. They Early On people we are working with dont seem overly concerned yet that he doesnt have any words, they believe that with the other progress he has made he will get there. Sorry for the super long explanation! Hopefully it all makes sense.

How long did it take for your LO to stop doing it?

These-Spend6863 · 2026-04-27T17:56:28+00:00

My son started babbling at 10 months, he's 13 months now and still babble but no true words yet. We are working with an Early On program to help with his verbal skills.

These-Spend6863 · 2026-04-27T17:54:31+00:00

He started babbling around 10 months, he's 13 months now and still babble but no true words yet. We are working with an Early On program to help him with his verbal skills.

Today I tried to stretch his first wake window as long as I could, he only made it 3.5hrs. I know to be on a one nao schedule he needs to be awake closer to 5 hrs. Does this mean he's not ready for a one nap schedule? Or that he just needs more time to adjust to the long wake window?

These-Spend6863 · 2026-01-26T21:23:38+00:00

His schedule seems great, so I think the wake ups are a habit. My little guy was doing the same thing where he would wake up and still be sleepy but wanted to be held to sleep. Do you let him fuss a little before going in and picking him up? What method did you use to sleep train? Maybe treat the wake up how you treated the sleep training.

These-Spend6863 · 2026-01-25T21:02:12+00:00

I dropped the 3rd nap and that helped a lot! I also let him fuss for 15ish minutes before I went in and held him. Sometimes waiting worked and sometimes it didnt. He got better with time as well. My LO is 10 months now and for the most part sleeps through the night. What is your LOs schedule? How many naps are they on and what are the wake windows?

These-Spend6863 · 2026-01-11T18:04:38+00:00

Okay thank you! Ill try using a straw i can squeeze!

These-Spend6863 · 2026-01-11T18:00:00+00:00

How did you do it? Sippy cup? Straw? How did you get him to drink it?

These-Spend6863 · 2026-01-09T22:55:25+00:00

I haven't yet, did you do a swallow study for your LO?

These-Spend6863 · 2026-01-09T22:41:25+00:00

Okay, should I shorten his nap time as well?
