This may not be that great to others.. but my baby.. my little little baby, started feeding himself today!!! He started feeding himself Cero's cinnamon flavor last week. Tonight I made him nini's chicken in nugget form with green beans.. I gave him a fork and he put it in his mouth! We had a bit of trouble at first getting it back out (he didnt pick up on that right away) then suddenly he just got it!! I am sooo happy.

Most of you know Colin was born severly premature, so he is really behind cognitively than other babies his age. He is now 18 months, he doesnt walk or talk yet... and now he is just beginning to feed himself!!

Thanks for letting me share!! I needed to tell everyone.. I think I am on my way to my rooftop to shout it over the neighborhood!!!

That is soooo wonderful......one day you will wish he would be quiet for just a second!!!Colin is darling &he looks like he's well on his way to catching up. The first step is always the hardest. My friend's baby was a premature & he blossomed after he made the initial step-- in school & is a bit smaller than other kids but his learning skills are the same as others.

Way to go Colin!!!!!

Congrats!!!!

I have to say, I fed my friends baby at her sisters wedding while she was running around taking pictures, and OMG, I couldn't believe how long it took. This kid has some appetite, but ofcourse you have to make everything in the smallest pieces. I think I spent 30 mins. feeding her. LOL!!!

So big congrats!!

(Ok, I know that's not why you're excited about it, but at the time when I was feeding her baby I remember thinking, wow if I were a parent, I would be praying for the day they can feed themself).

That is great news! You're little guy will catch up at his own pace. I bet you are soooo proud of him right now. I to have a preemie due to celiac. Our daughter was a 29 weeker now only wieghing 14 lbs at 1 yr...she has just started crawling. She is feeding herself some finger foods but still doesn't eat anything out of a bottle so she has a tube in her tummy to feed her. It is amazing how the little things with these guys are so signifacant. All the way allong being able to hold them to everything else seemed so much more significant with our preemie than with our first. Enjoy every milestone with your little mircle!!! As he gets ready our daughters favorite finger foods are the arrowroot cookies by midel...they're gluten free and shredded cheese. Congrats again on your little guys big milestone this week.....!!!

Yea Colin!!!!! Those are some good fine motor skills he has there! It's not unusual for babies not to talk at age 18 months . . . both of mine were one time, HUGE, and neither talked until 24 months -- then NEVER STOPPED! Eighteen months is a little delayed for walking, but not that much -- and that's for a TERM baby. In school, we were taught -- ugh -- just lost the words! You have to subtract the amount of weeks premature he was from his chronological age . . . . so he's NOT far behind for how old he REALLY is.

Celebrate a GREAT milestone!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!

Colin has good taste! ;)

      When my wife attempted to open the online card in the store with a cashier, it would not work. We then showed the owner the link to the card, the online receipt that I got upon purchase, and even my bank statement confirming the purchase. That did not satisfy her, since she said she needed the link to open to reveal the gift ID num. They even admitted they had a systems problem around that time.
    • trents
      Was the card itself lost or just the record or both?
    • Francis M
      We were flabergasted that the owner would not acknowledge a $50 e-gift card I purchased for my celiac wife. My wife tried to open it in the store and was informed there had been a system change and they could not find the record. No worries, she was told, just talk to management. Six months later, and numerous absurd back and forths, and the owner literally informs me there have been "bad actors", so she can't make good on this lost gift card. In other words, she accused me of lying and committing fraud... over $50! Please be careful with your orders and purchases here.

      Yes, some people do get withdrawal from gluten but gluten withdrawal doesn't usually cause gut pain. Maybe more like general body aches and discomfort. We have articles on gluten withdrawal on this forum. You might do a search for them. Applesauce is very acidic and some brands have added vitamin C (ascorbic acid) which makes them more acidic. This can damage the stomach lining if you eat it too often. Especially if your stomach lining is already compromised. Ibuprofen inhibits the body's ability to rebuild the stomach's protective mucosal lining. That's why it can cause peptic ulcers. As strange as it may sound, low level irritation/inflammation stimulates the body to rebuild the stomach lining. There are two steps in this rebuilding process known as COX 1 and COX 2. Ibuprofen represses both COX 1 and COX 2. Celecoxcib, a prescription anti inflammatory, inhibits only COX 2, making it less likely to cause damage to the gut lining.

      Do you or anyone know alot about ibuprofen  I wasn't sure if I was eating too much apple sauce.   Something is making my pain so much worse  I'm referring to the intense pins and needles in my feet and lower legs.  Jaw actually has tardive dystonia and muscle spasms throughout my back Almost like an opposite effect that a pain reliever would do. I'm fairly new to this. Whatever is going on seems to be worsening  Do people get a withdrawal effect from gluten?  It's extremely painful 😖  I'll post that question or research on the site  Thank you everyone for responding
