Solid food already?

Question

My son will be three months on the 17, but he is extremely advanced (of course, I'm his mommy saying that!) in sitting up. He's been sitting in his Bumbo seat without me holding on for about 2 weeks now. For pretty long lengths of time, I'm always right there with him and he never drops his head, I just take him out after awhile because I don't want him to get uncomfortable. I'm just wondering if it's ok to start oatmeal or rice cereal? I'd make it plenty thin with his formula.

Answer

I'm not sure what that has to do with the maturity of his digestive system. I wouldn't give him anything without talking to your pediatrician, that's very young.

Answer

Their digestive system isn't mature until 5-6 months, and when you give solids before then it can cause major problems later in life... there isn't a reasons. Baby needs solids before 6 months and still doesn't need it until 12 months

Answer

Him being able to sit up doesn't have anything to do with him being ready for solids. Wait until he's 6 months & that's also a question for his pediatrician anyway.

Answer

No, don't give him any solids.

Answer

Way too young for solids, and completely unnecessary

Answer

Talk to your pediatrician first. The standard recommendation regardless of sitting is 6 months. Ecause their little bodies are too young to digest it properly.
