My baby is now over 4 months old. We've started introducing small amounts of rice cereal and vegetable puree, but whatever he eats comes right back out. Additionally, he's been waking up around 3 or 4 a.m. lately, fussing until 7 or 8 a.m. He refuses milk or water. We've changed his diaper and reduced the layers of blankets. He had a trace element test just last week, and all indicators were in the upper-middle range.What could be causing this, experts?
The baby's digestive system may not be ready yet. Consider delaying rice cereal introduction until 5-6 months. Nighttime restlessness could stem from tummy discomfort, daytime overexcitement, impending teething, or emotional need for maternal affection. Adjust accordingly.
