Can i feed my 4 month old stage 2 baby food?
I would talk to your doctor about this one...it's odd for a 4 month old to require so much food already. Most doctors suggest upping the frequency of feeds, and or volume of feeds before suggesting cereal. It's very uncommon for a 4 month old to genuinely needs solids to satisfy their appetite. I know my doctor personally would have a coronary if I put cereal in with my childs formula-if it's not satisfying her (which it isn't), you should probably stop doing it. Empty calories for no real reason, Choking hazards...etc.
3 month old baby ok eating baby food?
It's a bad idea. Feed her less milk more often--so instead of 3 8 ounce bottles, feed her 3 ounce bottles every 2-3 hours. She's having a growth spurt. Even though you are bottle feeding your baby, she doesn't know that. She thinks she has to demand more milk from you to increase your supply, as soon as her body thinks she's getting enough milk she might back off. Even if she doesn't, all she needs is MILK. She needs milk, not baby food that doesn't have enough fats and nutrition to meet her needs. The balance of fats in milk build her brain and baby food doesn't have that, not getting those fats can make it so she's not as intelligent as she could be. Not to mention that she lacks the enzymes to digest solids at her age. It will hurt her digestion. Solids too early are tied to allergies, obesity, diabetes, Crohn's Disease and a host of other medical problems that won't surface until years later. You could be harming her brain and her body by feeding her baby food too early. I would wait until closer to 6 months (and my second big baby didn't start until he was almost 8 months.)

Is it okay to give my 5.5 month old gerber puffs?
don't slaughter me, it's just a question. my daughter started baby food a little over a month ago. she eats stage 1 and 2 along with formula. she already has 2 teeth and has tried things like biter biscuits before. she liked them but her tummy got splotchy so i discontinued giving her them. we've also tried baby mum mums but she bites off too big of pieces and i'm always having to fish them out of her mouth. my friend said she started giving her baby puffs around this time. also, my daughter is sitting up unassisted and can push her upper body into 'crawl positon', she just doesn't crawl. and she can pick up small things between her fingers. i think that was all the puff can said they needed to be able to do before they could eat them, but i'm just wondering if she's too young even though she's doing all that.
How do I give cerelac to my 4 month old baby?
Ceralac is not a good option for 4 month old.Their stomach is not ready to digest it . It is good to start after 6 months.Cerelac is good and it was introduced in market as optional semi solid food for baby.Cerelac is life saver when you are travelling or when you are not well enough to cook for your baby.For few kids, it has done wonders in gaining weight and fulfilling their appetite.Let’s talk about why you want to use cerelac.If you want to be fully dependent than that’s not a good idea as sometime it causes constipation in kids.After six month you can start withmoong daal pani or moong daal puree cooked with a pinch of salt and haldi(turmeric powder).You can go for apple puree, if he/she don’t like than try with honey or jaggery.Atta halwa or semolina or rawa and atta mix halwa is good option.Vegetable stalk like palak,pumpkin,tomatoe etc.Mashed potato puree.Oats halwa or little sweet kheerTry to give as much as home cooked food as they have more nutritious and healthy.One more thing you have to keep in mind, keep an eye on your baby taste,try in little amount.If he/she likes than go for it or change the recipe , never force them as their baby tooth might get in.many cases it has been seen that few kids are found of sweet and some salt.If the baby is not co-operating with spoon try to feed moong daal pani with bottle by making the nipple hole a bit bigger.Rest is up to you.Have patience,as a happy baby is healthy baby.

Should I give my 1 month old baby rice cereal?
I have never heard of anyone doing that with a 1 month old.I will say I started mine earlier than recommended with cereal..they were abt 3 months old.It did fill them and help them sleep.I only did it at their bedtime feeding.I would just put a bit of cereal..like a spoonful or so in the bottom of the bottle then fill with milk and shake it up good.I dont think I would do it with a 1 month old though..thats my opinion. Why did the Dr suggest this ..any reason?Is your Dr kinda old? this sounds like an old fashioned suggestion to me.
