Can a 3 month old eat applesauce or baby food?
I believe that a baby can eat baby food whenever they seem ready for it. A baby is a little person that would like more than formula or breast milk in the daily diet. My daughter is 2 months old and she is loving her fruits and veggies. My doctor said that it was ok for her to eat cereal at 1 month and with that said she had her cereal then and at 2 months she started eating stage 1 baby food. You can tell that your baby is ok with the foods as long as they digest it( have bowel movements). Do what you think is best and not that of others you should be able to tell if your baby is ready all babies are different.
Actually my baby is 3 month right now, and she is wanting to eat every 2-3 hours still, so my doctor told me that there is nothing wrong with putting 1 tablespoon of rice with every 2 ounces of formula (4 ounces of formula max) She has been eating rice in every other bottle, and is still at the perfect weight. She did say that it is true that babies won’t sleep much longer with rice, but it is a little more filling, and also helps reduce spit up.
It depends some babies can start to eat applesauce and baby foods at 2months and some have to wait until they are 6-7months old. Also if your baby seems to be hungry a lot like needing to eat every hour or 2, then start by giving her just a small amount of babyfood or applesauce and if she goes for 3-4hours before wanting to eat again then you can give her a little bit more.
