Solids related to crankiness?
I started Kate on solids yesterday, just rice cereal at lunch time she ate less than a tablespoon...but she's been really cranky the past couple days, and it seems like she's uncomfortable. She's 5 1/2 months old so I don't think I started her to early and she isn't eating much, and I'm wondering if it's related.
My other idea about the sudden crankiness is the fact that I've been eating a lot of cucumber lately, and I know those can be gassy, and I'm still breastfeeding. I can't get her to burp or toot, so I don't know what to do for her...but I guess I'll lay off the cukes and see if that helps.
She also had a bit of a diaper rash come up, but it's not terrible and I don't think it would upset her that much.
Has anyone else noticed weird crying after starting solids?
EDIT: I just did a diaper change, and her rash got worse so now I think it's safe to say it's the rash that's upsetting her. So now my question is...could she have gotten a rash just from a little rice cereal? In the past she's only had a rash from sitting in a dirty diaper, but I think I caught her poop this morning pretty quick.
