Can a 6 mos. old infant eat plain rice already?!
Question:
Answers:
Usually normal babies this age can begin eating strained or pureed foods at first. Plain rice could be difficult or dangerous for the baby if it is still firm as he/she could choke on it. It would be best to ask your Doctor for advice pertaining to your baby in case there are some special concerns and for a general nutrition plan. Also, there are many good books and pamphlets about this available from WIC or at your pediatrician's office.
Other Answers:
Most parents start feeding their kids table food around this age. Doctors say most things aren't good for them, but people have been doing it for 100s of years and there are still plenty of humans around!
Please do not feed your baby table food until they are l yr old Why? Choking hazard,hard on digestive tract,encourages obesity.Formula has everything a baby needs until l year.Keep giving the Gerber foods.
