Can you feed baby food to a 3 week old baby?

Answer 1

No, you shouldn't introduce solids to your baby until he or she is between four and six months old. Until then breast milk or formula provides all the nutrition your baby needs.

That's not entirely true. No two babies are exactly alike. My doctor has my daughter starting solid foods at 3 months. She is also teething and two months ahead of her peers. You have your doctor for a reason. If you did not trust him/her you would not entrust your child's health to them.

Answer 2

I've heard you can't feed your 3 month old because it could lead to obesity later in life? I don't really know if that's true. However, my son's pediatrician said we could start on solids at 4 months if he is no longer doing that tongue reflex motion that they do. I've known people to start their baby on solids just after 3 months and nothing bad has ever happened to them. As long as your baby seems ready and you're okay with that step than try it out and see what happens.

Answer 3

babies are best held off to atleast 17 weeks to be given any solids. They get all their nutrients from the milk alone and that is best for them, ideally hold off to as near 24 weeks old to give solids. Tests have shown that feeding solids too soon can lead to digestive problems and bowel cancer in later life.

Answer 4

Yes. My 3 month old eats rice cereal every day an just started on bananas.

Answer 5
