What about rice&beans, tofu, lentils for non-meat, non-diary protein?

i read that beans can give gas, which is a problem of his. I don't think I could give him Tofu, I wouldn't eat it myself LOL We are having spag bog tonight, he loves that so hopefully the extra meat will fill him up. Thanks for the suggestions!

I think it is kind of normal to lose some of their hair, esp at the back where they lay etc. Where is he losing it?

Yeah I think that is kind of normal Jae. I know friends of ours have had babies lose that first hair and have nothing for quite awhile, unlike my two hairy kids :P
Ummm I haven't noticed smelly gas in a baby before. Is he eating solids yet? Have you ate anything unusual lately? How are his poops?

Akeelah never lost any hair. Everyone kept saying, oh she'll lose her hair, and she never did. Which was somewhat nice for me. Akeelah never really had the soft and fine baby hair that most are born with. I can't imagine how I would control it if it was any thicker!

rice and beans together make a complete protein.
I was going to mention that Akeelah eats a lot of rice and peas (kidney beans) and we've never had a problem with gas. I do understand that Nath has a problem with gas, but maybe try a small amount to see how he is.
Akeelah has never been a big meat eater so we try to give her rice and peas whenever we can in an attempt to make sure she has enough protein.

Ryanne, my friends baby (who actually looks a lot like Gabby, it's weird) has the same thing, the top keeps growing super long and down into her face, but the sides and back is barely growing.
I'm waiting for Akeelah's hair to start growing down!

Janine, is there ALWAYS a reason for you to have stinky gas? Sometimes it just happens, as long as it isn't bothering him then there is no real reason to worry.

That completely makes sense Manda!
And since we're on the subject of flatulence.....Akeelah's gas has never smelled bad, but man is it loud! One day she let some out and I blamed Dh before it because I did not think it was possible that much noise could come out of a baby!

Nicole, if you wanna make not gassy beans, don't follow the directions on the package. You can soak the beans overnight, but it's not necessary. Boil the beans for 15 minutes, then dump the water and rinse the beans (that's the most important part). Then boil the beans (with salt and a cut up onion) uncovered for around 2.5 hours (or however long it takes) adding water periodically. If you think you may not be able to add water soon, like if you're trying to get Nath down for a nap, just put it on medium low with a lid during that time so you don't run out of water and burn the beans. If you burn the beans, you can still save the beans that are on the top. You can make a very large batch and freeze them in the juice. It will thaw a different consistensy, but still good. You can even test them out on Grace and Arch and see if they get gas. Hehehe. My kids eat pinto beans and Mexican rice a couple times a week because it's cheap, healthy and Timmy is so picky, but they don't really get gassy from them as long as I boil them uncovered and don't simmer them with a lid.

It all started growing back in quickly at around a year old. 
It's getting thick again though, and it's SUPER long on top, even though it's only about 2 inches long on the sides/back.
**25****30****35****40 
who said she passed a lot of wind in the first 2-3 days, but then after that no wind at all.
