Can I give occasional baby cereal or fruit in small amounts to a crying 2 or 3 month old?
Not our first choice, although it usually doesn’t cause any problems as long as you don’t feed much and don’t feed at bedtime.. The food must be of soft texture, be carefully given in small amounts occasionally, and you must understand that there is some association between early feeding and likelihood of developing allergies later on in life. Of course, the risk of aspiration of food into the lungs is greater with higher texture food introduced earlier in life.
