Can my baby eat cereal? The ideal age to introduce other baby foods is 6 months. I know it can be a bit daunting waiting 1, 2, 3,4 5, and another month to do so.
You might be wondering why you need to wait that long to introduce cereals.
- waiting that long means your baby has developed well enough to digest solid foods( purées, cereals, and baby rice added to milk)
- It will also be easier for them to chew and swallow by 6 months.
- Doctors recommend you feed your baby breastmilk for the first 6 months of life.
At 6 months your baby can eat infant cereal, meat, proteins, fruits, vegetables, grains, yogurts and cheeses, and more.
