Giving baby rusks at 4 months.
As in why is it from 6 months allergies or chocking hazard or something else.
I make my own oat flour.
My baby rusk recipe is easy and is based on oats.
Many pediatricians still start babies on solids around 4 months of age.
However i would not suggest putting baby rice or a rusk in her bottle.
No you need to wait until 6 months as baby s can have very sharp strong jaws and if she takes a bite out of it she could choke on it.
The baby feeds himself without parental help or encouragement or judgement.
The aap recommends that an infant not be started on solid foods until after 6 months of age.
I started at 4 months.
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.
Baby led weaning would be about giving the baby a rusk and letting him pick it up hold it himself and chew on it.
I gave my baby one when he was 4 months old a rusk and he was fine with it.
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.
Is it ok to give 4 month old teething rusks.
I quite like oats as a base for baby biscuits as they are naturally relatively high in iron.
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.
To make oat flour you literally blitz porridge oats in a food processor.
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.
My healthy baby rusk recipe.
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.
I started giving my daughter baby rice a week before she turned 4months.
Just be careful because they beaver their rusk into a shape where the top can be broken off.
It says on the packet from 6 months onwards but is it safe before that.
If you want to spoon feed your baby then try the traditional weaning board.
This chart accommodates all.
She showed all the signs and was definitely ready.
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.
