Hi, all,
Sam is reaching for food at the table like crazy. I would like to start him on some rice cereal. Right now he is a breastfed baby. He also gets one bottle a day of 4 oz. breat milk, a tbsp. of formula, a tsp. of Miralax, and a dash of salt. He is gaining weight fine. He will be 5 months old on January 17. Does anyone know if starting solids this young will cause allergies? Also, he always has a runny nose, so how will I know if he is having an allergy to a new food? Because of CF, I want to approach everything with caution. I would welcome any tips because I want Sam to LOVE food and be a healthy eater.
I thought a week of rice cereal, then a week of pears, then a week of bananas, maybe avocado? I also have a message out to both this nutritionist and the lactation consultant.
Thanks,
rosesixtyfive, mother of Sam, ddf508, (4 months) and Robin, no CF, 4 years old
