Magical Bl**dy Solids (Vent)

Oh it's the answer to everything - "when he's on solids it will right
itself" - particularly with Health Visitors. I called yesterday cos DS has
been waking up over the past few weeks screaming with chronic wind (30 weeks
old now) and can't go back to sleep til he's almost purmped his pants off -
and nursed for comfort. I asked for advice. I got "try increasing his
fluids intake". We feed every 2 hours during the day and 4/5 hourly at
night. I told them that. So then it was "Well could you mix orange juice
with his food?" Huh? He's still exclusively b/f. My reply - he won't yet
take a sippy cup (only if it's empty!!!). "Well mix it with his baby rice".
HE'S NOT ON SOLIDS. "Oh well, when he is it will all right itself. He's
over four months old isn't he?". Ye gods!!! In the meantime I guess they'd
like us to just ride it out eh?

Now that I've finished ranting, do you guys have any ideas? My diet hasn't
changed (not even allowing for Xmas) and I can't link it to any specific
food.
