She needs to recognise the difference between milk and food putting food in her bottle will only make it harder later on in my opinion.
Giving baby rusks at 4 months.
Posted 10 years ago.
As in why is it from 6 months allergies or chocking hazard or something else.
It says on the packet from 6 months onwards but is it safe before that.
Try welada teething powder or those teething toys rings you can buy that have liquid in them freezing them or putting them in the fridge can help alot.
My baby rusk recipe is easy and is based on oats.
The study s findings indicated that among the infants who were never breastfed or who stopped breastfeeding before 4 months old introducing solids before the age of 4 months was associated with a sixfold increase in the odds of obesity at 3 years old.
I gave my baby one when he was 4 months old a rusk and he was fine with it.
Many pediatricians still start babies on solids around 4 months of age.
I started giving my daughter baby rice a week before she turned 4months.
I also give my boy a rusk to keep him busy if i m sending an email or if i need to leave him in the lounge while i pee haha.
I make my own oat flour.
However i would not suggest putting baby rice or a rusk in her bottle.
I don t actually think he ate it though just made a huge mess but i bring them to the store with me and give him one.
I quite like oats as a base for baby biscuits as they are naturally relatively high in iron.
Is it ok to give 4 month old teething rusks.
Just be careful because they beaver their rusk into a shape where the top can be broken off.
This chart accommodates all.
Every now and then just try to break the top off yourself if he s trying to turn the rusk into a spear with his little teeth haha.
To make oat flour you literally blitz porridge oats in a food processor.
If you want to spoon feed your baby then try the traditional weaning board.
The aap recommends that an infant not be started on solid foods until after 6 months of age.
I started at 4 months.
The baby feeds himself without parental help or encouragement or judgement.
She showed all the signs and was definitely ready.
Baby led weaning would be about giving the baby a rusk and letting him pick it up hold it himself and chew on it.
My son has been teething since 9 weeks so much dam dribble.
But depending on your baby s size bigger babies may not be satisfied with breast milk or formula alone and readiness your doctor may say it s ok to start solids at four months.
