[blparent] solids after digestive trouble

[Jessica Lucken]

My daughter was recently sick, not with the stomach flu, but with a bad cold
and double ear infections.  She also had a high temp so the doctor wanted
her to have lots of fluids.  Lucy doesn't really like juice either, no
matter what kind, so the doctor had suggested popsicles and that was a huge
hit, of course go for the sugar free ones.

I'm glad to hear she is feeling better.
Jessica

Thanks.  I've only gotten Sarah to drink juice once ever, most of the time 
she rejects it outright.  She ate some pumpkin and oatmeal earlier, and a 
few cheese cubes.  But now she's rejected her bottle again, and she won't 
even eat Cheerios, which she loves.  So go figure.  Still, she's toddling 
around again, and taking interest in everything, and I'm thinking she's on 
the mend.
