How offen do give you baby there first cereal a day??

Question

Then when do start on tha fruit & veggies. Its just been along time and theres alot of stuff that I don't remember.

Answer 1

You want to discuss this with the pediatrician, because it depends in part on when your particular baby is ready.

But in general, when you start cereal, just a tiny bit once a day. And then you introduce little bits of pureed fruits and veggies a few days apart to watch for an allergic reaction.

Answer 2

Well to start out just give one serving of cereal a day. Usually at about 4 months is a good time to start cereal. Then fruits and veggies add one at a time around 6 months.

Answer 3

It depends on how old the child is. when you first start a baby on cereal start with only a few TBS with formula. you will Know how much by the bowel movements. If your baby starts to get bound up back off alittle. The doctors say four monthsths for fruits and veg. but I feed my son fruits about 3 mon. You start with a standard fruit juice and start out watering it down half and half. you have to watch how your baby reacts to it to know how much yo are going to be able to feed him\her. I enjoyed feeding my son apple juice and cereal in a bottle about bed time.or formula and cereal in his bottle at bed time. If it wasn't for that my son would never slept through the night. he has been sleeping through the night sence he was two weeks old and now He is going on fourteen months.

Answer 4

just make sure your infant doesn't take honey before the age of one. So be very careful. It's not the honey but the potential for botulism spores inside of honey.

"The concern is with infant botulism.

Botulinum spores are found widely in soil, dust, and honey. Adults who swallow botulinum spores are almost never affected. When infants swallow the spores, however, the spores can germinate in their immature gastrointestinal tracts and begin producing botulinum toxin. This has occurred even when the honey was only used to sweeten a pacifier (European Journal of Epidemiology, Nov 1993).

Botulinum toxin is the most poisonous natural substance known to man. The lethal dose is only 1/10,000,000 mg per kg of body weight -- an amount that would be invisible to the naked eye. This tiny amount in the blood stream can cause death within minutes through paralysis of the muscles used in breathing.

Infant botulism has been found on every continent except Africa. In the United States it is most common in the states of California, Utah, and Pennsylvania. While infant botulism can occur from taking in soil or dust (especially vacuum cleaner-bag dust), eating honey is the number one preventable cause. Corn syrups are not sterilized and may also be a source of contamination (The AAP Red Book, 2000).

Infant botulism can occur any time in the first year of life, but like SIDS it is most common in the first six months. In fact it has been suggested as the cause of death in up to 10% of SIDS cases (Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics; Saunders 1992)."
