There was nothing for it.
I had to buy every kind of a vegetable I could think of that might "blend well" and be bland enough on a tummy so as not to cause discomfort, telling myself; Veggies are great, he will be having proper bowel movements in no time (All of the reflux formula's and medication had exacerbated his on-going issues with bowel movements since he was born) .
I bought;
Pumpkin
Butternut Squash
Carrots (Carrots can be hit and miss with Refluxers - took Sam a few weeks before he could tolerate them and now they are his favourite)
I saw a trend - they were all orange.
So what do first time mothers need to do?
Chop up your vegetables and boil. Simple.
Chop up your pumpkin flesh and boil, drain and then (not like me with a sieve and spoon) blitz it in a blender, instant soup for an adult to season if you will and the remainder put into an ice cube tray and straight in to the freezer!
Jobs a good'un!
I did this with the previously mentioned vegetables as well as cauliflower and broccoli
