I usually try to trust a doctor's advice for the most part, but there are some things that my daughter's pediatrician has suggested that I'm questioning. What do you think of this?
1.) My daughter is only 4 mo. old. The doctor advised us to feed her rice cereal (as much as she wants) twice a day. I think this is too much to give her right off since her little system is having a hard time digesting it. I mentioned that, and she said, "She'll get used to it."
2. I asked her about when to take her pacificer away and she said, "Let her have it for at least 18 months." I think this is waaay too long, but she said she needs to suck it until all of her teeth come in.
3. She wants us to start jarred foods at 5 months and only wants us to wait two days between introducing the next food. For example, carrots for two days, sweet potatoes for two days, etc. I thought you were supposed to wait at least 5 days between foods to make sure there is no allergic reaction.
