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.
Giving baby rusks at 4 months.
Do not freak out it is not tricky.
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.
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.
My healthy baby rusk recipe.
The aap recommends that an infant not be started on solid foods until after 6 months of age.
This chart accommodates all.
I quite like oats as a base for baby biscuits as they are naturally relatively high in iron.
My baby rusk recipe is easy and is based on oats.
However i would not suggest putting baby rice or a rusk in her bottle.
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.
Just be careful because they beaver their rusk into a shape where the top can be broken off.
I started giving my daughter baby rice a week before she turned 4months.
Baby led weaning would be about giving the baby a rusk and letting him pick it up hold it himself and chew on it.
She showed all the signs and was definitely ready.
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.
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.
It says on the packet from 6 months onwards but is it safe before that.
As in why is it from 6 months allergies or chocking hazard or something else.
I gave my baby one when he was 4 months old a rusk and he was fine with it.
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.
Many pediatricians still start babies on solids around 4 months of age.
To make oat flour you literally blitz porridge oats in a food processor.
