Okay so I was wondering if my baby is ready for rice cereal yet? First I'll tell you a little about him, he's very alert looks at his hands and feet and sucks and trys to eat his hands. I gave him his teether ring thingy to see what he would do And he chewed on it. he is hungry more now he can eat 5 or more oz's at a time. And he also eats more often. He does still suck on his soother and bottles like before but he has a strong chew I was holding him and he slober on my hand then sucked and chewed on my finger lol. Is he ready for rice cereal? (the first thing babys should get) He's only 3 months old and a week.
This answer is easy. Call your childs doctor. Every doctor is differant and recomends differant times for each child to start solid foods for a reason. Taking others advice is not a good idea. Always listen to the doctor not a friend or family member.
Yeah they say to at least wait until the tongue reflexes are gone and they can do the chewing motion otherwise they could choke plus when they are really young their tummy's can't digest it yet so its also good to be cautious and double check.
Yes I've given him half a teaspoon super small amount once a day in his milk. He's still hungry lots just not as hungry as before. And im okay with that. His poo and everything is healthy and he's talking a lot more!
Im with maebee, call your babies doctor and tell her or him what you just told us and she will tell you what to do...you never want to start your child on anything before first consultiing your doctor.
my daughter is 2 months old an she wasnt getting full either she was eating 6 or 7 ounces an I started her on it the doctors dont recommend it but it wont hurt them I would go ahead if I were u
Okay I was thinking I will try a tiny bit today to see if he likes it. Then try tomorrow. He's very smart for his age.
ok well just put a tiney bit not to much and he odda feel beter and not more hungrey because it thickens it up a lot
Okay thank-you =D
